Visual artist LINDA ALTERWITZ OFFERS A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE THAT
ENGAGES CREATIVE COLLABORATION, offering the opportunity to learn
first-hand about the positive changes that mindfulness and meditative
practices can make in our health and well-being. Participation in Just
BREATHE PROVIDES A NATURAL CONDUIT FOR EACH PARTICIPANT TO REACH
BEYOND ANY STRUGGLES AND FEARS, and experience one moment in time.
Each participant is asked to choose an outdoor area where he or she
feels a sense of peace and lay down, facing the sky. Each participant
places his or her smartphone on his or her chest and points it toward
the sky with the simple instructions "just BREATHE. For 30-seconds,
each person BREATHES WHILE LOOKING TOWARD THE SKY AND HIS OR HER
BREATHING PATTERNS ARE CAPTURED IN VIDEO FORMAT. Acting like a
fingerprint, the unique movement of each persons breath creates a
visual oscillation of the natural environment. As a result, each
unique video possesses distinctive properties that are reflected by
varying factors such as weather, ambient light, GPS coordinates, and
each persons breath patterns. Workshop will include a gallery talk on
Sanctuary: New Works by Linda Alterwitz on view at the Hilliard Art
Museum from June 11 to November 30, 2021.
PARTICIPANTS ARE ASKED TO BRING A SMARTPHONE CAPABLE OF RECORDING
VIDEO AND A YOGA MAT OR BEACH TOWEL.
