Mónica Alcázar-Duarte: Digital Clouds Don't Carry Rain

Autograph is developing the first UK solo exhibition by British-Mexican artist Mónica Alcázar-Duarte. Digital Clouds Don't Carry Rain will explore the connection between indigenous and western botany systems to explore the current efforts towards forest conservation and human behaviours that are affecting these efforts. Questions around climate and ecology are at the forefront, set amongst the dying trees of Derbyshire (the home of the industrial revolution) and presented as a visual topographical journey using augmented reality, GAN simulations and three-dimensional images of a soundscape embedded into the surface of the image of these dynamic works.

In 2022 Alcázar-Duarte was selected as the Autograph / Light Work artist-in-residence. Each year, Autograph selects an artist to go on a residency at Light Work’s studios to pursue their personal projects, Alcázar-Duarte used her residency to further develop Digital Clouds Don’t Carry Rain.

We will be updating this page as the project develops, or join our newsletter to get the latest from Autograph in your inbox.
