Wind Catching Guide
Performative action, video, 2021
In this work I demonstrate my author's method of catching the wind using breath and of holding it in own lungs. Wind is invisible, it reveals itself through the sound only in contact with other objects, and the character of this sound is determined by the form of these objects. The act of wind catching is an interaction with this natural element which became deliberate, unlike the usual breathing process that we barely even notice. It is a way to act as a subject in this interaction through confrontation with the wind, competition, struggle with it, despite the fact that the forces are unequal and defeat is predictable.
