On each exhalation during the almost 16 hours long séance, Dupont will scratch a line in a copper plate that in the end will form an artwork in the shape of an abstract score. During the last hour of the performance composer and saxophonist Lotte Anker will interpret and express the score in sound. The basic rhythm of life translated to music.

Breathing is the first movement we make in life and the last when we are to leave it. Throughout our time in between it is the act that unites our inner and outer space. The inhalation takes in our surroundings. The exhalation exposes our inside. It is this movement (the breath) that keeps us alive, but it is also what keeps us apart in this historic moment of the Corona-virus.

By forwarding all attention towards the simple act of breathing a mental space opens up that allows for spiritual reflection. In a time when we are all ’holding our breath’ awaiting good news it is our motivation to ‘gather’ in this joint gesture and create a unique and positive moment for everyone in a celebration of art and life.

Through live streaming we invite you all to join in at your convenience during the day and mark your breath with Sophie Dupont, with us, with each other – but physically apart.
