To honor the UN 2023 Water Conference and New York Water Week, the Consulate General of Switzerland presents Swiss video artist Matthias Gubler’s cloud installation «Eva Porate». Exhibited in the Consulate‘s 30th floor lobby, the hologram installation depicts a cloud hovering over the New York City skyline. The title refers to the ambiguity of the work which is comprised of several images of real clouds. It is designed to capture the viewers’ attention and engage all senses. The inner world merges with the outer cityscape in an attempt to make the fragility of the world perceptible.

Originally from Zurich and raised in central Switzerland, Matthias Gubler is currently artist-in-residence at the Central Switzerland studio in New York City. “Eva Porate” is the 12th edition of Art @ The Consulate, an exhibition series presenting Swiss artists living in the United States.
