(This is) Air | Nic Brunsdon
The idea for this project was conceived during the global COVID19 pandemic, when suddenly this gas that connects us all to each other, and indeed to most living things, urgently became more apparent. We were reminded that despite the power we exert on this planet, we were not in control. We were reminded of air as part of an independent biosphere that could act with its own agency. These facts also highlighted that air is foundational to the global economic, social and ecological realities of billions of people.
Throughout the day the volume of this spherical commission inhales and exhales as though its breathing. (This is) Air invites visitors into its space, and if you stand close enough, it will breathe on you.
The audience is prompted to think about air as matter, air as ecology and air as precious and finite resource to be cherished.
