EINDER, 2020—present
• Measurements: Site specific
• Material: fabric, motors, light, spatial sound
Einder is an installation series by Boris Acket, delving into the artistic potential of fabric as a medium. Seamlessly merging moving fabric, dynamic lighting, and spatial sound, Einder creates a unified composition.
Utilizing linear actuators, vertical motors, and a harmonious blend of artificial and natural wind, Einder is an ongoing study in the balance between control and surrender. The fabric, while guided by technology, retains a level of unpredictability, ensuring no wave ever mimics another. Accompanied by a soundscape of synthetic and natural elements, Einder simulates natural patterns and phenomena, echoing changes in weather and appearances through coordinated movement, light, and sound.
Einder invites viewers into a dialogue between synthetic and natural worlds, prompting reflections on our future understanding and representation of nature. It stands as a poignant symbol of the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural environment, forever shifting and evolving.
