Capturar el aire

Capturing the wind is a way to appropriate and touch the landscape, just what happens in the ephemeral installation by Mexican students Ulises Cruz and Cresencio Gómez.

The object created by Ulises Cruz and Cresencio Gómez, two architecture students at the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas, Mexico, were meant to intervene in the landscape, trying to capture its essence.

 

The sea, its visual and its depth, escape from our hands: a way to appropriate and touch the landscape is through the air. The breeze passes through a woven yarn in a hyperbolic form, intensifying the decibels and making it intensely perceptible. The event deals with landscape intervention without touching or changing it. Building structures with reused wood and yarn, allowed for introspection and captured the sound of the sea breeze. The object was located in Puerto Arista, Chiapas, and built with the purpose of being part of an ephemeral event.
