This video diptych represents a breathing memory recorded by the artist during the confinement in 2020 and used to animate these two organs. These breathing data were extracted using a spirometer (medical breathing sensor) and an algorithm during a respiratory performance filmed in real time.
Breathing Patterns was the winning artwork of the Siemens Ingenious Prize awarded to Salomé Chatriot at the Centre Pompidou in 2020.
This video diptych represents a breathing memory recorded by the artist during the confinement in 2020 and used to animate these two organs. These breathing data were extracted using a spirometer (medical breathing sensor) and an algorithm during a respiratory performance filmed in real time via the Italian online platform Sajetta (Like a Little Disaster). Lying on a dead tree, Salomé Chatriot shared her breath with this non-living being so they could coexist together. This original work was created after the initial performance Fragile Ecosystem, which served as a platform for recording this memory of breath.
The video on the right corresponds to a phase of quasi-sleep (meditation) and is therefore very regular while the one on the left was extracted from the artist's body subjected to intense physical and emotional activity and therefore irregular.
