Breath is the energy that keeps us alive, physically and spiritually. But what happens when our breath is made to stop? How do we react when we lack oxygen and what does this reaction signify?
In this exhibition, photographer and visual artist Ana Bloom invited viewers to reflect on the act of breathing as the most universal human experience. Restricted by the hostile environment of water, the subjects of Bloom’s portraits struggle for life, floating as they can. BREATH questioned our relationship to the ocean and nature, and to migration through these spaces, to those beyond them. The artist believes that every human being has a strong relationship to death. Her photo series was a reminder of our place in the universe between the rhythm of breath and the point at which it ceases.
