FAIRE PLEURER LES NUAGES
(MAKE THE CLOUDS CRY)

2015-2022

Faire Pleurer les Nuages (Make the Clouds Cry) is an outdoor performance created by the artist in direct continuity with her grandfather's farmer practice; cloud seeding. At dawn or dusk, after a fencing duel, the artist uses a crossbow made of steel and bra wire with breath's ammunition, sulfur and dynamite to shoot in the clouds and make the sky cry.

Film produced with the support of Musée des Abattoirs, Toulouse, and the Maison des Arts Georges et Claude Pompidou, Saint Cirq Lapopie, France.
