My plaster hands

Your exhale, movement, touch

A collection of invisible breaths (projected video)

Zephyr زفير  (installation)

Viewers are asked to breathe out through a microphone before moving to the sculpture, where they put on noise-canceling headphones. As they move their hands across the sculpture, their movements control the playback of their recorded exhale, which they can manipulate based on hand position and speed. This allows them to adjust the panning, speed/pitch, and volume of the sound. Additionally, their presence near the sculpture activates a previously blurred video, bringing it into focus to reveal various footage of non-living entities performing the act of exhaling.

Using the exhales I collected from the installation form of “Zephyr” (Installation) I reprogrammed the sculpture to play back different exhales based on my movement, playing it spatially on a speaker array dome of 29 speakers.
