Connecting us directly with the environment, LongStringInstallation (2023) by Pelle Schilling creates a bodily experience by connecting a resonance body with the movement of the trees in the wind. It uses two acoustic chambers to explore the acoustic qualities of long piano strings. Strung between the chambers and the surrounding trees are 10- to 30-metre-long steel piano strings. The strings are vibrated by a feedback loop between electromagnets and electromagnetic sensors, creating a base tone. When the trees move in the wind, the string's tension varies, resulting in a variation in tone. Visitors are invited to lie down in the acoustic chamber and enter it with their heads. While gazing at the sky and treetops through an opening, they listen to a composition created by the interplay between the strings, the trees, and the wind.

Pelle Schilling is an artist specialising in creating and performing kinetic instruments. He crafts intricate installations that revolve around manipulating and orchestrating various phenomena. His portfolio includes projects exploring long strings, free aerophones, and the luminous properties inherent in ferrous metals. In his work, he creates a deliberate interplay of spatiality, attention, surprise, wonder, and danger. Crafted with the viewer's experiential journey in mind, his large-scale works are designed to be immersive encounters.
