Tarry not, O cloud is a feature length experimental film inspired by Kalidasa’s Sanskrit poem Meghaduta (The Cloud Messenger, 4th - 5th century CE) and Rick Jarow’s final publication, his study of the poem.

Kālidāsa’s Meghadūta (The Cloud Messenger) is one of the most celebrated works of classical Sanskrit literature, renowned for its lyrical beauty, emotional subtlety, and vivid geographic imagination.

The poem is divided into two sections:

1. Pūrva-megha (First Part):

   A lovesick yakṣa, cursed to live in exile for a year, encounters a rain cloud over the Vindhya mountains. He implores the cloud to carry a message to his wife in Alakā (the celestial city of Kubera, in the Himalayas). This section meticulously describes the cloud’s journey across the Indian subcontinent.

2. Uttara-megha (Second Part):

   The message itself, addressed to the yakṣa’s wife, expressing longing, fidelity, and hope, culminating in an intimate portrayal of separation (viraha).

Banished far from the one he desires, a delirious lover entrusts a passing cloud to deliver a message. 

The lover imagines the cloud’s journey across terrains, bodies, and shifting seasons. 

The cloud messenger does not travel directly, but drifts into diversions, where the route widens and feeling expands.

"Picture (a) City"

Predstava Mesta

Klara Debeljak

Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova | +MSUM Ljubljana, Slovenia

2025

The project brings together works by artists exploring the complexity of Ljubljana’s urban identity. 

The video is based on the artist's research into gentrification using the example of Slovenia's changing Internet infrastructure, and attempts to draw parallels between the gentrification of the digital and urban spheres.

It is an illustration of the widespread and entwined phenomenon of the privatization of urban spaces, the Internet infrastructure, and supposedly public digital spaces. 

The research suggests ways in which separate nodes of activity can connect with each other within a network of speculative infrastructures, and act generatively and productively against the across-the-board corporatization of our analog and digital living spaces. 

The combined analytical and speculative thinking expresses a socially critical stance that encourages new ways of perceiving gentrification and offers possibilities for civic activism and hope, as well as the tactical use of media.

Milesaway

Marc Grossgasteiger, Mario Kaeppeli, Daniél Niederkofler

2021

" Sometimes we all desire to be far away from our comfort zone. We think that we don’t need to be necessarily so far off to feel miles away from the daily life. We are used to travel in such fast rhythm that we almost forget to have a closer look at what is surrounding us. It’s possible to travel deeper, slower with an open mind ". 

Music by : Black Market Karma ,Desmond Cheese, Baba Sissoko , Doni Doni , Ezra Furman and Roberto Musci.
