Patrick Pound’s unique work, The gallery of air, is a wunderkammer of diverse artworks and objects drawn from the NGV’s collection that holds an idea of air – such as, an exquisite painted fan, an ancient flute and a photograph of a woman sighing - augmented with objects and works from his own personal collection. As Pound has said, ‘by selecting these things according to an apparently arbitrary and poetic category, the way we read them will be temporarily reset’.
