Rain Room
permanently sited in Al Majarrah, Sharjah, UAE,Sharjah,UnitedArabEmirates
Rain Room, a site specific installation created by London-based collaborative-studio Random International, provides an immersive experience of continuous rainfall. When visitors enter the room, they are directed to navigate intuitively and carefully through the dark underground space in order to protect themselves from the downpour. As the visitors walk through the room, which uses 1,200 liters of self-cleaning, recycled water, their movements are detected by motion sensors that trigger the rainfall to pause.
