Nebula is a device for generating sculptures of mist and light.
Placed in a dark space, the device disappears to display a slowly-mutating volume of illuminated mist. Visitors can gather around it, as they would do around a campfire, and get absorbed in the contemplation of a choreography of wispy clouds of mist. Subtle sounds, all generated by the device itself, are weaving an intersensorial composition, together with the light evolutions and mist movements.
Vision becomes tactile, times dissolves, and our imagination travels through this almost intangible landscape of sensations.
