Breath | able
Breath | able is an installation about a dystopian future that monetizes Air as a medium of value. A medium that has evolved to become a ground of survival.
In this capitalist imaginary, it becomes a currency that determines one’s personal space of air consumption. Ownership of air becomes a defining space in relationship to the body. The semi-transparent fabric acts as this imagined boundary and is experienced differently according to where you are placed in this system of varying breathable mediums.
The installation is comprised of wood, pvc pipes and tulle fabric sprayed with an ink gradient.
Exhibited as part of The Youth Takeover 2020 at the Jameel Arts Center.
