Meteorologist Núbel Cisneros is shown in a Medium Long Shot in front of a neutral background giving the weather forecast. After a few seconds we start to notice that he gradually digresses from the aseptic enumeration of atmospheric phenomena into a meticulous and detailed description of the painting “Luna con dormilones” by José Cuneo. By means of an “ironclad script” a parallel is drawn between the meteorologist and the “Plein Air” painter, thus exploring the relations between weather, place, space, time, representation and intermediation.
