unseasonal rain



Thought behind the thought:
Unseasonal rain always brings a sombre mood with it. All the birds and animals are also perturbed by its sudden onset. It has something probably to do with uncertainty and unpredictability of the event that makes us uneasy. The climatic changes and environmental issues have literally put our seasons in disarray. Just like an unexpected life event makes us anxious and wary unseasonal rain seems to enter our souls and awaken old wounds and pain.


About Art and Design
Rain , where you least expect it, is the theme of this installation "Rain Room", designed by Random International. The installation gives the visitor a feel of walking in the rain without getting wet!




Rain Room is a hundred square metre field of falling water through which it is possible to walk, trusting that a path can be navigated, without being drenched in the process.

As you progress through The Curve, the sound of water and a suggestion of moisture fill the air, before you are confronted by this carefully choreographed downpour that responds to your movements and presence.
