How can a wind enter language? How do you hold on to something, that only exist in movement? Reading the Wind is an attempt to map out which names winds has been given in locations around the world and the way they blow, whizz and move in their own rhythms throughout the year. EBE is a southwesterly wind that blows through the Dzungarian Gate, the wind BARF KHOR means ‘snow-eater’ in Persian. The names and texts are collected from various geographical, meteorological and encyclopedic works and are spread out across the book’s 300 unnumbered pages in a non-alphabetical order. As a reader, one must read through the pages as the winds blow.
