Atmosfields

Earth from space. Soap bubbles. A variety of inflatables of different shapes and sizes, rolling on the ground, floating on water (the sea, the river), in the air, in daylight, illuminated at night, etc. Water in droplets and pools on surfaces, sometimes frozen. Thermal imaging of heat rising. Thin plastic sheets blowing in the wind. Human intervention includes children rolling some of the inflatables, people walking inside a giant tube and inside giant bubbles on the surface of water, scuba diver, man lying on giant soft globe, sliding on ice, rolling on plastic, and so on.
