Angin Cloud
Angin Cloud imagines the rural industrialisation of a hill side in Vietnam’s Central Highlands as an assemblage of Jrai wood sculptures. Environmental extraction has reshaped the highlands and lent to the Jrai’s displacement from their lands.
Based on a collaboration between Art Labor and the Jrai community, Angin Cloud touches on the dynamic potential for change that is found in water and air—a poetic reference to the evaporation of the forest in the face of industrial farming.
