Hear the Wind Sing
Tshirts, blankets, towels, socks and a few pairs of panties are lightly hanging on orange threads, connecting the trees between each other while creating a modest, unplanned composition of white surfaces, sometimes moved by the wind. Tonight we have the honour to host the second screening of Ceremony: Hear The Wind Sing, a collective performance organised by Pam, Ilya and Natasha accompanied by a text written by Carla, Ines and Gina, which found in Habitat a perfect place to manifest.
“Ceremony: Hear the wind sing” is a project aiming to cultivate cross-departmental knowledge-sharing and speculation on new possibilities we can come together for a collective moment of experience through cinema.
Behind the rows of hanging clothes, the house emerges as in a high-contrast
painting from the encounter of the lunar reflections on its surfaces.
The wind still gently shakes the clothes before the projector turns on. A
series of moving images illuminate the set, while a group of people from
Cà de Monti descend to the meeting point from which it is possible to
experience the show. The site has been wisely identified and prepared
for that moment. Some environmental recordings made by Louis accompany
the images, while the wind - rising all of a sudden - shakes loudly
the clothes and the trees, adding a layer of truth to the speakers-emitted
soundscape. The integration between the images and sounds collected,
the surfaces on which they are projected or reverberated, together with
the natural and architectural conditions of the place are thus mixed, offering
a non-repeatable performance because of its contingency.
