Aeolian Suite is a publication that offers a porous extension of Jenna Sutela's work presented at the Pavilion of Finland at La Biennale di Venezia 2026, where meaning drifts, gathers, and slips away. Accompanied by a vinyl record featuring excerpts from the work's original score, it brings together the project's dispersed elements of sound, movement and atmosphere in a form that can be held yet remains in flux.
As in Aeolian Suite itself, where winds become vocal protagonists and carriers of messages at the edge of comprehension, the publication attends to what circulates between signals: the inaudible, the unpredictable, the untranslatable.
The volume expands the work's inquiry into language, technology, and living systems. It considers wind not only as a meteorological force but as a medium that resists capture even as it animates the tools designed to measure it. In this space between composition and contingency, listening becomes a method for recognizing registers beyond humanexperience that we nonetheless shape.
Jenna Sutela (born 1983 in Turku, Finland, lives and works in Berlin) and her studio work on "living sculptures", images, and sound that explore open systems in biology, computation, and language.
