The Romantic Disease
In 2014, when visiting in London, I heard of an exhibition about tuberculosis called „The Romantic Disease“ and knew this had be good. So my friend Jane and I journeyed all the way out to Brentford to the Watermans Art Centre. The artist Anna Dumitriu had meticulously composed a space for her investigation into the disease with bacteria laced textiles, historical writings and instrumentation and miniatures of hospital life.

Three-dimensional rib animation
Pioneering breath teacher Jessica Wolf teamed up with Dreamworks animator Marty Havran to make the first ever three-dimensional rib animation. This amazing film exhibits all the muscles, bones, and organs of respiration during breathing.
Jessica Wolf created her own method „The Art of Breathing“ by combining the principles of the Alexander Technique and Carl Stough’s Breathing Coordination.
Here is the link to the trailer of the video:

Breath Token February 2017
A breath token is a breathing exploration that I develop for friends & clients and send out as a gift.
Shifting the weight over one foot at a time
Standing waiting for the train today and wanted to find some patience. I focussed on one foot and shifted the weight over the balls of the foot, first over the elevation on the inner side and then over to the elevation on the outer side and then back again. This can be done a few times and then one can compare one body side to the other. I did the same thing with the other foot. Read More
Breath Myth
This weekend I visited Amy Feldman‘s exhibition „Breath Myth“ at Blain Southern Gallery in Berlin.
Enter – an industrial, rectangular space – large grey-toned canvasses with primal doodles on them. The aesthetic is visceral and abstract, solid and hollow, dirty and clean at the same time. The doodles remind one of intestines but all the formations are complete, and thus unlike intestinal or airway passages. The playful, yet serious character of the images is mirrored in their titles: blatantly as in „Jolly Gloom“, jarringly as in „Chronic Comic“ or subtly as in „Ghost Host“ or, indeed, the title of the exhibition „Breath Myth“.

Suspense is quite literally in the air
I bought the February issue of Geo Magazine (in German) because it had an in-depth article about breathing in it. But there was also a small article about CO2 levels being measured in cinema auditoriums. The CO2 levels gave information about audience attention levels. As tension rose in a suspenseful scene, the CO2 levels rose. Food for thought about what we think we like and what our bodies have to say about it.
“With some movies, suspense is quite literally in the air. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, analysed the air in movie theatres during various movie screenings and determined that every movie leaves a characteristic pattern in the air.
