Vibeke Mascini Explores Breath and Time at Z33, Hasselt

Vibeke Mascini's exhibition Gust at Z33 in Hasselt centers on breath, air, and time. The show features installations, sculptures, and sound works that examine how invisible forces become tangible. Among the works are aircraft windows with dust from dried butterflies trapped between panes, symbolizing transience and renewal. Harmonicas played by recent lung transplant recipients are also heard, as they learn to breathe anew. A new timepiece, created with clockmaker Rudi De Geest and supported by Werktank, challenges conventional time perception. The title Gust refers to breath, wind, fatigue, and relief, and the exhibition probes the fragile relationship between body, technology, and environment. Concurrently, Buitenplaats Kasteel Wijlre presents new work by Mascini focusing on electricity and energy circulation. Both exhibitions share an interest in invisible systems and constant transformation. An exhibition booklet is available at z33.be.
