International Wind Art in Northern Hesse

wind art landscape
bewegter wind e.V. organises wind art festivals and offers for wind art and intercultural communication.
Wind is a symbol of spirit and communication in almost all cultures of the world.

"bewegter wind" stages wind art in this multifaceted landscape. Wind art is fleeting, can always be experienced anew and remains unfinished in a fascinating way. At various locations - in front of forests, high-altitude landscapes, lakes or quarries - objects are created that make the wind visible and allow it to merge with the art.

The international wind art festival takes place as a competition every two years at changing locations in the region. "bewegter wind" is a landscape exhibition with a supporting programme, art competition, artists' meeting, cultural exchange, exhibition tour and children's programme.

The 11th wind art festival "bewegter wind" took place from 13th-27th August, 2023 in Wolfhagen. We are looking forward to the 12th wind art festival from 17th-31st of August, 2025.

„beyond”

Installation

A construction of vertical poles with horizontal arms serves as a support for a "Verklicker" (wind direction indicator for sailboats) at the top of the construction. The construction is balanced with rotating joints and counterweights so that the mast construction moves with the wind. The “Verklicker” explores the environment, moves beyond the usual stationary point at the mast top. /
 
Eine Konstruktion aus senkrechten Masten mit waagerechten Auslegern dient als Halterung für einen „Verklicker" (Windrichtungsanzeiger für Segelboote) an der Spitze der Konstruktion. Die Konstruktion ist mit Drehgelenken und Gegengewichten an den Auslegern (Eisenkugeln in Stoffbeuteln) so austariert, dass sich die Mastkonstruktion mit dem Wind bewegt. Der „Verklicker“ exploriert die Umgebung, bewegt sich über den gewohnt fixen Punkt am Mastkopf hinaus.
