susurrus
A breath-activated installation that dissolves boundaries between body and environment. The piece uses microphone input to detect breath — blowing separates a live camera feed into five depth layers that pull apart in three-dimensional space, as if wind could peel apart the visible world. When breath stops, the layers collapse back into stillness.
Susurrus is named for the sound of rustling and whispering — the barely-audible presence of wind. It asks: what does it mean for breath to become a force of visual perception?
