RESONAIR
Installation
Resonair explores the interplay between breath, presence, and disappearance in an environment saturated with air pollution. At the center of a round wooden table lies a single mask, surrounded by eight others, all connected by glowing fiber optic cables. Each mask emits light and steam, gradually filling the space with a dense, foggy atmosphere.
A microphone hangs from the ceiling, inviting visitors to interact. When a breath is blown into it, the light shifts—changing slowly from red to blue. This transformation symbolizes the shared nature of breath and the possibility of regeneration through connection. Even when something is broken or fragmented, it can be restored through relational and social bonds.
By rendering breath both as a fleeting trace and an act of survival, Resonair blurs the boundary between visibility and erasure. It reminds us that breath, though invisible, must not be taken for granted—and that ignoring air pollution is ignoring the very basis of our existence.
SOOBEEN WOO
Soobeen Woo is a media artist based in Bremen, Germany, whose work explores disappearance, material transformation, and the limits of perception. Through installations and virtual environments, she examines how physical and digital realities converge and disintegrate, emphasizing the ephemeral nature of objects, spaces, and breath. Her work challenges anthropocentric perspectives by revealing the unseen—vanishing ecosystems, dissipating traces, and the fragile boundary between presence and loss—encouraging audiences to experience absence as something felt rather than merely observed.
INTERIVEW
At LICHTROUTEN, the artist presents her work `Resonair´, which combines light, vapor and sound to explore breath and energy as central themes. Inspired by the ‘right to breathe freely’, she uses optical fibres and ultrasonic humidifiers to create an immersive, interactive experience. The work invites the audience to reflect on the connection between humans and nature.
