In the circular Pilv-Cloud sound installation, a whispering ghost guides visitors on a multi-sensory journey through the four seasons and across time. This metaphorical ghost represents our fragile relationship with our environment, highlighting the imbalance that endangers our coexistence with nature and other beings. The installation’s text, drawn from Estonian Nature Folklore Archive as well as walking interviews conducted in the Tartu area in the spring of 2024, blends humorous and poetic in its fragmented narrative.
