"Located on Jambiani beach along Zanzibar's east coast, Drifting Cloud is a by Vincent Leroy that interacts directly with the wind. The sculptural work is constructed from carbon rods, joints, and kite- discs, forming a lightweight structure capable of responding to subtle air currents. The installation's modular components move independently while remaining part of a connected whole, generating a dynamic, constantly changing composition. Movements vary according to wind strength, ranging from fine vibrations to broader gestures, producing an organized yet unpredictable rhythm."
"Positioned above the shoreline and amid the seaweed farms, the installation by Paris-based artist Vincent Leroy integrates with its environment without interfering with local activity. Its floating arrangement translates wind into visible motion, offering a spatial and temporal reading of environmental forces. Drifting Cloud demonstrates the interplay between lightweight materials, modular construction, and environmental responsiveness in a coastal context. A field of mobiles emerging from the shallows"
Drifting Cloud sits on Jambiani beach along Zanzibar's east coast and uses carbon rods, joints, and kite-discs to create a lightweight kinetic structure. Modular components move independently yet remain connected, producing a continuously shifting composition. Movement responds to wind strength, from subtle vibrations to broader gestures, generating an organized but unpredictable rhythm. Positioned above the shoreline and among seaweed farms, the installation integrates with local activity without interference. The floating arrangement visualizes wind as motion, providing a spatial and temporal reading of environmental forces and demonstrating material and modular responsiveness in a coastal setting.
