In Kolgen’s piece ‘Unwind’ harmony and union is uncharacteristically illustrated between pairs of living organisms. A natural object, in the form of a tree, is provided with an artificial respiration system that is slowly breathing in conjunction with the outside real time wind and the audience that surrounds it. A lighting system coordinates with a pulse of the natural surrounding environment and the other living organisms with in it to create a whole experience
I put a tree found in a forest 30 miles from Dallas
into a oxygen tent under artificial breathing.
The wind from the city give oxygen by 2 air tubings
and the light energy that he need was also connect to the dynamic of the wind.
It was also very beautifull at night
more than 10,000 people came in 2 days
