Jet Whistles / The Grand Exhalation

Jet Whistles / The Grand Exhalation (2025)
Thunder Sheet Machine / Le Grand Souffle (2025)

66 motorized metal sheets, wind machines, video projection, images and sculptures

A large scale installation that transforms sound and wind into a sensory and political experience. Visitors enter a space filled with motorized thunder sheets and leaf blowers, creating a composed landscape of storm, howl, breath, and vibration. The piece confronts the audience with the aesthetics of intensified air – between force and resistance, nature and technology. It invites reflection on the ambivalence of natural phenomena and their political implications, particularly with regard to climate change and human-made geology. Specially 3D-printed whistles allow visitors to actively join the storm of sound through their own exhalation. The piece merges physical phenomenality with expressive tension, drawing a seismographic portrait of our current fears and perceptual crises—an invitation to move, to listen, and to exhale.
