the work "LUFT / ILMA / AIR" has been running for weeks now at the art museum in kajaani. as part of the exhibition "Tiloissa - In Räume - IN SPACES" together with colleagues nicole ahland and verena freyschmidt. the exhibition can be visited until 28.08.2022. nicole shows photographs, verena her paper works and i have the "breath" work in the red room and two compositions on the theme of plants and bats in the green room.

"LUFT / ILMA / AIR": i have chosen a 6-channel speaker-installation for the space. the light situation is restrained dark red.

through the wonderful submissions, we hear a 3 hour breath. i have used all the recordings of you. there are breath recordings that stand alone, collages within breath families and transitions of breath pairs. i have left the recordings unedited and changed them only very little in the space. in the entrance area of the installation, i have had a board put up with all the names of you all.

BREATHING | Incantato respiro

(2022)

I. BREATHING DEEP | Un respiro profondo

Like a deep breath: constant pedal of breath. Almost in the dark, before birth: nocturnal ... "from inside the belly".

Total time: 4:20

II. BREATHING: A CHILD | RespiroBambino

Towards the light: open (or almost). From inside the belly to the outside World. The breathing is slower and gains thick voice, with a coda leads to the articulation of a quasi-language …

Total time: 4:21

III. BREATHING WHISTLE | Incantato respiro

Where the breath is almost singing at the limit of voice and word. If towards the voice: give me the word.

Total time: 4:15
