Following the Wind | 2025

For the autumn artist windows at Hermès in Amsterdam, Johannes Langkamp created Following the Wind, an installation where the iconic Hermès horse explores a world of motion and wonder. Kinetic constructions with scarves, mirrors, umbrellas, and everyday objects are set in motion by windmills and pulleys, merging Hermès’ products with Langkamp’s artistic practice. The result is a playful encounter between fashion and art, where movement, material, and narrative come together in an enchanting scene.
