PROJECT SPACE
100 BREATHS
ALYRA BARTASEK
No breath breathed is ever the same. To examine the limitless potential of the fundamental, unconscious process of breathing, liquids that can transform into solid, physical, representation of a single breath have been used to create a series of hand, ear, chest and body forms. Through limiting the influence over forms, the pieces embody a unique moment that cannot be repeated. This moment is then made permanent through solidification processes. 100 Breaths reflects the infinite potential of the body in a moment and the unique temporality and pace of the individual when the objects are worn. Through the symbiotic relationship between worn objects and the human form, the site that the objects inhabit may be critically examined.
100 Breaths is part of Radiant Pavilions 2015 and is supported by Craft Victoria.
