In this short film, I gave two performers the task of breathing the same air for the entire roll of film. The 16mm film experienced condensation, creating an effect of breath overlaying the performance. As if the camera was breathing with them and the handheld camera-movements mimic the rhythm of their breath.
The initial intention behind Shaired Air.s was to offer a political response to global challenges by reflecting on our shared fundamental need which is air. To me the act of people breathing the same air symbolises equality reminding us that we are all connected through this shared necessity.
