11 hours of clouds (windows)
11 Hours of Clouds (Windows), is a series of sculptures simulating an airplane window panels that narrate and document a performance I did inside the airplane in the flight KL751 between Amsterdam (my city of residence) and Guayaquil (my city of origin).
This performance is one of my different attempts of making artworks inside the airplane. In this ocassion I had the idea of making a print that would be as big as the Atlantic ocean itself, covering the whole space in between these two cities, a print that would be 11 hours long. In order to make this print I created an ephemeral printing installation underneath the tray table by using paper tape, markers, toilet paper rolls and napkins. The window sculptures narrate this process as it actually went, and also include some stream of consciousness fictional scenarios that could have unfolded in the airplane. The story is told by means of written text, scribbles and photo documentation.
Each window includes a wooden frame that hangs on the wall, two panels of corrugated honeycomb cardboard, diverse papers, a mobile photos documenting the performance onboard and a hand written story.
Windows are a spatial exploration of what previously was an artist book narrating the same story.
The process of dying napkins and toilet paper rolls on board of the flight KL 751 concluded in a series of colorful toilet paper/napkin collages called ‘Clouds’.
