Breathing Matter(s) – Véréna Paravel & Lucien Castaing-Taylor

Few artists in recent years have so radically reinvented the cinematic experience. Formally, aesthetically and programmatically, their visually stunning works shatter the boundaries between anthropology, documentary film and visual art, subverting traditional, anthropocentric orders of representation and visibility. 


Cinematic immersion, a strong focus on sensory and physical perception, and a deep engagement with lived experience are at the very heart of their work - whether it be the bloody daily grind of deep-sea fishing, the repulsive fantasies of a cannibal, the surreal dreamscapes of the world's most garrulous sleeptalker, or the sublime visions of the pulsating interior of the human body. 

Entry to the exhibition is free. An accompanying programme of artist talks and film screenings will offer further perspectives on the themes of the exhibition.
