BREATHING VOLUME
"4 + 4 Days in Motion" Festival, Prague, October 2015
BREATHING VOLUME is an installation that combines dynamic architecture and immersive sound design. It plays with the notion of space within an audio-visual context. Upon entering, visitors are embraced by the installation’s breathing walls, which continuously expand, contract and change their physical volume over five-minute intervals to mimic the sensation of being inside a living organism. Four synchronised ventilators trigger the dynamics of the sound matrix and the movement of the walls by following the canon of human lungs. Subwoofers placed in the interior transform the pulsing bass frequencies into the soul of the organism. BREATHING VOLUME unexpectedly steers the focus from what surrounds us to what is immediate, here and now, offering a distorted reflection on our relationship with space, its distance and extension.
BREATHING VOLUME is a Plastique Fantastique project in cooperation with Marco Barotti.
Concept: Marco Canevacci, Marco Barotti, Markus Wüste, Lorenzo Brusci, Yena Young
Plastique Fantastique team: Hugo Luque, Stephanie Grönnert, Simone Serlenga
Thanks to: Bumsang Kim, Yuri Cho, Seung Jo Lee, the IN SITU network.
