Breathing Room



„Small is OK" Atelier Bow Wow (Japan)

In an intimate world of sound, activated with a simple breath (a blow) of a visitor, a multiplicity of new sound sources magically invade the room, acoustically creating micro spaces within the existing space: a loose, fluctuating volumetric structure – a dome of sound, which elevation, richness of resonance and time of reverberation are the projections of the initial gesture’s intentionality – hovers (condenses) for a short moment in the center of the room and then dissolves without leaving a trace.

A study of perception as inherently spatial. The notion of ‚felt volume’ as a sculptural experience. Temporalization of space. Transparency.

Ethereal constructions with air pressure. Sound as a radical form of materiality.
