Re‑Birth is an immersive 40-channel sound and video installation that breathes, moves, and transforms. The work fills MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Centre with layered sound, generative video art, and spatial dramaturgy. You are part of the work—you are art.

Re‑Birth combines a breathing choir, piano, violins, and monologues based on diary entries. The sound material unfolds into space through a network of 40 speakers, with close-miking revealing micro-sounds and subtle nuances of breath. Listening is embodied, intimate, and alive in time.

The work is built on spatial rhythm—time becomes space, sound becomes movement, and the listener becomes a participant. 

Monologues based on diary entries invite presence and awakening: how can body, space, and listening bring us back to the present moment?

Re‑Birth completes Autio’s five-part RE-series (Re-Ditus, Re-Verb, Re-Floris, Re-Sound), which has created spaces for collective listening in museums and galleries throughout Finland.
