Materials: 14 silk covered, hand cranked wind machines; human attendants wearing wool felt coats and hats; sound; artist book/score for the performance of breath
The carved and hand painted figures fixed in their narrative altarpiece became both the context and the material of the work. The mouths of the small sculptures - grotesque in close-up - form the contents of the book opened on a music stand at the end of corridor of wind machines.
