4. Inside a Cloud:
Light and Visual Obfuscation
How does it feel to be inside a cloud? Overcast is an intimate performance that explores light, perception and mood in conditions of obstructed visuality. The performance immerses the audience in different lighting states and challenges their perception by simulating the experience of being in clouds. Overcast considers visual obfuscation through ideas revolving around clouds, haze, and mist. Through the performance, I invite the audience to reflect on the significance of light (in their experiences in performance) and the different atmospheres that might emerge when we cannot see clearly.

Hi,
Thanks for helping with the making of overcast!
When you are ready, please record and describe what you see in the picture below. Don't plan, just speak (in English...). Don't worry if you stumble or fuck up, keep going. Take as long as you need and give as many details as you want. Don't feel like you need to cover everything. Choose one of the links. When you are done, send me the recording. I don't want to give too many notes to direct or limit. BUT! please avoid using the words Painting, Cloud(s) or the artist's name. In other words, say what you see without clarifying (too much) what it is you see. Other than that speak freely.
Thanks again! and happy recording! :)
