Rain Room can be seen as an amplified representation of our environment. Upon entering the installation, visitors are simultaneously exposed to and protected from the water falling all around. Although the sound and smell of the rain are intense, its touch is nonexistent, leaving visitors dry within a continual downpour as they navigate the space. Rain Room was first displayed in 2012 at the Barbican in London and is now in the permanent collections of several art institutions internationally.
