breathing/virtuality

breathing/virtuality consist of a video installation and essay, made in response to the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Confined to my 27m² studio apartment, I turned to new ways of imagining and inhabiting my living space. By means of photogrammetry and video, I developed both literal and figurative new perspectives on that intimately familiar space. Through extreme close-ups, recording variations in light, shadows and different textures visible from my window, I expanded the space I was in. Yet throughout these visual, material exercises I began to understand that one of the most generous ways to create space is by breathing, precarious as it has become.
