At first, these just look a [bizarre installation of umbrella clumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case), but if you saw Julie Tremblay's art piece in real life, you'd realize that encased within each black cluster is a person. Moving in a choreographed way, Julie Tremblay's 16 performers tumbled around in a performance she and Nana Francisca Schottländer called “Everything That Happens."

"The movements of the performers and their interactions with the “[umbrella-spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piloti-canopy)” opened up to wealth of metaphors, from birth to death and just about everything in between, where the spectator was welcome to create his/her own story," Design Year Book described.
