With the prevalent rains in the Netherlands and its history of struggling with the elements, rain is deeply rooted in Dutch culture. After questioning what it would be like to capture the experience of rainfall on textile, designer Aliki van der Kruijs developed a technique called “pluviography,” where she photographically records rain precipitation with a film coating that is sensitive to water. 

This book explores the process and results of this project: A collection of goods that form a collection of weather data.

Works from this project are included in Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection.
