Restless Sky
Artista: Catherine Widgery
Ubicación: Túnel Oeste (Aparcacoches)
Crear una sensación de espacio, luz y aire que desafíe la experiencia normal de las pasarelas subterráneas y que, al mismo tiempo, haga referencia de forma metafórica a la cualidad esencial de la transición... una ausencia de límites, percepciones cambiantes, energía edificante llena de posibilidades. La ilusión de espacio y profundidad anima la experiencia de pasar junto a la obra de arte y el propio reflejo del espectador entre las olas y las nubes nos introduce en la experiencia.

I think for all of us who spend time in airports, they are, by their very nature, stressful experiences. So, certainly my wish with both these two corridors was to have something that connected to nature, transports you to another vibration almost. I wanted there to be a sense that there was space and an opening, almost like a window, something that you could look out through. I decided that I would take images of clouds, which is something that everyone can relate to as a beautiful, quiet experience. We look through the front panels, and there is actually a mirrored etched panel with cloud images at the back. That creates the illusion of twice the depth, and the viewer becomes part of it bit by bit. It changes people's experience of the space. Maybe art can shift our awareness, shift our consciousness a little bit.
