When You Whistle, It Makes Air Come Out. Torfs’ installation, whose rhythm is determined by the sound of her own breath, is based on the studies of Swiss psychologist Piaget on children’s understanding of cause and effect. The children’s surprising responses to questions such as “Where does the wind come from?” appear as text in an old lightbox.
