Wind Avatar von Haseeb Ahmed im Théâtre de Liège

Haseeb Ahmed, artist of this year's Werkleitz Festival 2019 Model and Ruin in Dessau presents his work Wind Avatar at Théâtre de Liège, Belgium as part of the Impact Festival. The exhibition is on view until January 4, 2020. Wind Avatar is part of a trilogy on which Haseeb Ahmed works. Produced in collaboration with Dr. Béatrice de Gelder from the Brain and Emotion Laboratory at the University of Maastricht, Wind Avatar creates a direct link between expressive body movement patterns and wind turbulence patterns. It allows us to literally inhabit the wind and its unbridled freedom. A wind tunnel system developed with the Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (Belgium) personifies the wind and allows its expressions to be controlled.
