Breath and Motion

 Series > Breath and Motion

A breath is a simple physical act, but one with poetic potential as it relates to voice, song, and speech. In these works, performers use their breaths and voices while their video images rotate rapidly. By linking the breath to the image’s attainment of equilibrium, I underscore the fragility, physicality, and necessity of that gesture. The image remains legible only while the breath is held – a duration as much felt as understood.
