A bigger scale of touch 5 / 150 minutes
We cannot touch time. Time is invisible. It is not possible to see time, but we can see the
consequences of time. Time leave tracks. Time erases. Time creates changes. Time is
development. Time gives the opportunity to movement, without time everything would
be frozen.
I wanted to work with wind as a physical version of time. Like time, the wind is also invisible.
Either time or wind stands still, it is a constant movement. And we cannot see
the wind, we can see everything it touch and how that gets affected. There is both an
obstacle and a freedom in wind. You get pushed and held up.
I have a wireless microphone attached to a long wooden stick and walking outside recording
sounds of the wind. The audience stands in the window with headphones listening
to the sound. They can use monocles to observe the microphone and the invisible wind.
