Ramificonnessioni

Unwind is an installation that utilizes the element of wind. It consists of simple wind harps, which form a 20 meter long corridor on an open field in Borromeo park in which visitors are invited to walk through. The wind harps produce light and unpredictable sounds depending on wind direction and strength. Unwind makes wind a more sensory experience and explores the role of the artist as an intermediator between different elements like moving air and sound. Unwind implies that the occurring capture of wind is only momentary.

The tree is the archetypal symbol of life that grows. It originates from the soil, nutrient source from which it takes its energy, and develops into the sky, in search of the natural elements of the earth. The leaf forms organs. Its ribs are also the symbol of the complex network of relationships that captures the energy and transforms it into life.
Starting from the symbolic representation of these concepts, the project aims to reconstruct the branching vascular system of leaves and branches of plants, tie in the three spatial dimensions through the geometric shape of the cube. Three-dimensional space of the connections will be born, as for trees, from the soil and will expand on the terrestrial surface.
