In The Wind is Reading we see a tableau of books lying in the sand with their pages turning in the wind. We follow the the books for several days, at different times of day and in different weather. The work is a remake of a filmscene from The Color of Pormegranates by Sergei Parajnov. In the original 14 second long scene, munks are carrying books to the top of a cemetery. On the rooftop the books are lying open and the wind makes their pages turn. Parajnovs film is a portrait of the Armenian singer and poet Sayat-Nova, King of Songs. The film is made allegorically, meaning that every scene is portraying a part of Sayat-Nova through a visual metaphor. The book scene is said to represent Sayat-Novas time as a kid studying at a monastery in the northern part of Armenia, where he found the beauty of the word.
