Einder

Boris Acket

Thu 21 Aug
Sat 23 Aug — Sun 24 Aug

Thunderstorms are just like us, cycling through three distinct phases of growth, maturity and decay. In this expansive installation blanketing Melbourne Town Hall from above, Dutch artist and composer Boris Acket renders this ephemeral rhythm visible and sonic.

A flowing textile dances with light and sound, creating an ephemeral dialogue with the grandeur of Melbourne Town Hall Organ. View from above or below, the storm unfolds in real time – shifting, swelling and retreating across light and sound. The work pulses with an organic chaos – its movements never quite the same twice.

Acket’s attempt at control, like ours, is fleeting. For all our planning, the storm reminds us: some forces can only be witnessed, not wielded.
