The Stream XIII
In my “The Stream series”, I have expressed the transformation of landscapes as a result of the interactions between humans and nature.
In “The Stream XIII”, the 13th in the series, I focused on how the landscape is transformed when the wind as a weather phenomenon streams through the fields and reed fields cultivated by humans.
For sound effects, I used the sound of a wind chime. A wind chime consists of a bell made of iron with a weight suspended by a string inside. When the wind blows, the weight rings inside by wind pressure.
I used the wind chime to perceive the invisible presence of wind as sound. And also we can perceive the invisible presence of wind as visualized wind ripples in the fields.
I expressed the invisible scenery through sound and images.
