What are we looking at when we look at clouds ? What do they signify ? What can they predict ? Nanna Debois Buhl's artist's book 'Cloud Behavior' is a study of clouds : their materiality, their movements, and their historical significance, through photographs and drawings, essays, and interviews. During summer 2018, Buhl photographed clouds on medium-format film and experimented with the images in the darkroom. The result is a series of cloud photographs ranging from neutral registrations of the clouds to dramatically altered and color-saturated images. In the book, Buhl's cloud photographs connect to historical thinking about clouds, to scientific research on cloud behavior, and to the mystical and meteorological contemplation of clouds by Swedish playwright, writer, and artist August Strindberg. In A Blue Book (1907-12), Strindberg believes that he sees cloud formations returning in the same shapes to the same place in the Stockholm sky. He ponders what messages the clouds transmit. Today, climate researchers study cloud behavior to understand how global warming affects the movements of clouds and how, conversely, the movements of clouds might affect global warming. Strindberg and climate researchers share an interest in reading signs and omens in the clouds, and do so with the aid of photography and other means of visualization.

Moderne Wolkenbilder sind mehr als Darstellungen meteorologischer Phänomene. Sie bieten Interpretationen komplexer Wirklichkeit. Das Buch diskutiert anhand ausgewählter Wolkenbilder von der Romantik bis Gerhard Richter, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf dem 20. Jahrhundert, wie moderne Künstler den Himmel unterschiedlich wahrnehmen und deuten: als große, alles umfassende Einheit, als Spiegel menschlicher Verfassung und Imagination, als Ereignis und Überwältigungserlebnis, als Chaos und Zufall. Als Wolkenbilder werden sowohl Darstellungen des bewölkten Himmels (Malerei und Fotografie) als auch abstrakte Bilder, denen Wolkenstrukturen zugrunde liegen, analysiert. Wie Naturbild und abstraktes Bild in dieser Gattung einander nahekommen, ist ein eigener Argumentationsstrang. Wolken, so die These, interessieren die modernen Künstler als Metaphern einer diesseitigen Unendlichkeit.
