Collective Breath is a durational performance that investigates the relational space between bodies through breath as a material. Utilizing custom two-person inflatable forms, performers engage in synchronized, continuous breathing to gradually inflate the shared structure. As the form expands, it exerts pressure on the performers’ bodies, establishing a reciprocal choreography of resistance and yielding. The condensation of breath within the form renders the invisible visible, materializing a shared interiority. Originally presented in 2017 and later in 2019, the work was retroactively reframed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as breath, once signifying intimacy and connection, became a site of risk, surveillance, and containment.
