Whorling in the cycles of breathing and resting, dreams and wakefulness, silence and sound, here and elsewhere: boundaries fade in the darkness, myriad happenings converge, and “here” becomes the “elsewhere.” In this realm, the shapes of perception blur, like the hazy memories of waking from a dream, layering different times and transcending the present reality.

Within the natural cycles of growth and decay, the far shore of daylight seems to be easily overlooked: the edge of darkness, the breathe of sleep, the wakefulness of dreams, different shades of silence…these entities, like dust, exist ominously whether seen by human eyes or not. Following this path, Whorl Whirr emerges from the one-hour cyclical alternation of Sumnium Susurrus and Tunnel. In this realm, Yen Chun Lin weaves sculptural installations and spatial sound with a dragonfly, artist Gediminas Žygus, and dreams.

Sumnium Susurrus originates from the transient pulse of the dragonfly’s wings at the verge of motion, Lin’s dream-like encounter with a dragonfly leads her into their entangled past lives. The dragonfly murmurs, she listens through dream-ears, and a stream of nuanced occurrences gradually unveils across dimensions. This interlaces with Tunnel, seeking to explore the in-between spaces within existing knowledge systems. It employs a form of dream-logic to connect diverse environments and realities, swirling through timespace within the seemingly light-dark and lingering in an oceanic state of existence towards the collective unknown.
