SEEING-BREATHING (2024-)

Seeing-breathing practice is an ongoing experimental methodology that activates the visual, movement and respiratory systems to encourage connectedness to the self and others. Developed by integrating techniques from the fields of neuroscience and diverse somatic and meditation practices, seeing breathing seeks to create spaces of empathy through embodiment and includes works across media, including sound, painting, sculpture, performance and body and meditation based practices.

Participants were invited to synchronize their breathing and movements in attunement with others. The artworks were activated with a collaborative sound work by Kaj Schlicht and Jamie Denburg Habie that invited two or more people to synchronize their heartbeats through shared breathing.

GLOGAUAIR SEEING-BREATHING PRACTICE, 2024

Participants took part in a seeing-breathing practice led by Jamie Denburg Habie and Gerjet Efken, cofounder of Inner Space Breath. The 1.5-hour journey flowed through movement, breathing exercises, and a guided meditation designed to catalyze a state of connectedness to oneself, others, and the surroundings.
