Whistling the wind

Exhibitions views S’embarquer sans biscuit, Passerelle Contemporary Art Center, Brest
Exchange project with the CAN, Art Center of Neuchâtel, initiated by Martin Jakob and Nicolas Raufaste

Whistling the wind is a sound work created for the exhibition “S’embarquer sans biscuit”: it is a multitrack recording of someone whistling. We discover the piece as we move through the exhibition. Behind the background wall appears the “sound-system” of which a video shows the recording session conducted in a room in the basement of the CAC Passerelle, Brest : a sailor strapped to a pole whistles the wind before the vast expanse of a blue screen.
