I Like to Talk to the Winds is a performative weaving of space, light, sound, music and movement created by four artists from different fields. It is a powerful work in its sensitivity, in which each creator of the work acts as both designer and performer. In the piece, everyday activities appear as a continuous flow of wonder. Bodies, movement, physical materials and music relate to each other, enabling the matter vibrating between things – the sound of being – to be perceived. In a poetic way, the work questions the necessity of existence, suggesting a horizontal view of our shared reality.
