Studio Akane Moriyama

Air is normally invisible. But as the pine trees on seashore are shaped by a sea breeze, the wind leaves tracks. In summer of 2022, Studio Akane Moriyama showed a new installation 12632g at the center of Stockholm. At the city’s main square, the installation made of more than1500m2 fabric works a medium to visualize the wind. Influenced by natural phenomenon, the fabric constantly changes its appearance. It sometimes reflects the light, absorbs the rain, creates layers of the shadows, and/or blurs the square in pale turquoise. Through the fabric, the viewless wind is transformed into the gentle movement of the light, the colour, and the shadow. The ever-changing installation offers the viewers a moment to see thing that were previously invisible. Things we rarely are conscious becomes objects of perception here.
