breathe-SGuarino

The brief looped animation, made of tiny etchings printed off the same plate, reflects on the feeling of displacement people experience as migrants. The constant instability is a burden that many bring to their graves, while some people, who ignore the struggle because of their privileges, dare to have a say in the matter. 

Breathe was exhibited as an installation in 2018, as part of IM_MATERIAL at the University of Brighton, UK. It aimed to be a visual, auditory and tactile experience, where the viewers engaged by taking a short trip through a few layers of curtains, made of found tote bags and other scrap fabrics, before getting to see a projection of the clip, accompanied by sound.
