Anyway the wind blows (with La Jetée)
Helsinki - selected
The world is turning upside-down, and we have lost any
sense of direction.
In the middle of Grey Cube Galleria I, we propose to
install an instrument that measures the direction of
the wind.
An apparently simplistic and playful installation is
to be intended as humorous rather than fun. We think
of Finland and the North, of population growth and
migration, natural resource demand, climate change and
globalization. We wish to build a big weather vane in
the old bear castle, by the shore. It will talk to
us in foreign languages, as currents, bodies of air
become sounds — both are relational media.
We make an object as simple as a weather vane, and to
our minds it becomes a rhetoric device, that makes us
think.
