We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land in which is video was made on, the Awabakal and Worimi people.

Air may not seem like anything at all, you look right through it all the time. It doesn’t have much substance, you can’t grab it but you can feel it. It can dry your clothes, crack your lips, and carry boats across oceans. It can pull trees from the ground, it pushes dust across the earth and it carries our voices. 

There is a telephone booth in Otsuchi, Japan that isn’t connected to a line. It was put there by a man for anyone to use to communicate with those who have passed, he calls it the ‘wind phone’. You can pick up the phone and tell them about your day. The wind carries your message.

Lottie Consalvo and Sarah Mosca collaborated to create site-specific sound, video and sculptural works that inhabited the internal and external spaces of the Multi-Arts Pavilion, mima (MAP mima).
