The Simultaneity of Breathing

Die Gleichzeitigkeit der Atmung

Austria / Poetry, Art, Drawing / 00:04:14 min

In “The Simultaneity of Breathing”, Mersolis Schöne envisions experimental film production as a place of encounter where drawings and press photos by Austrian artist Lisa Est and Thomas Ballhausen's poetry come together in a shared philosophical experiment. Through the voices of Apollina Smaragd (German) and James Delaney (English), lines such as “words / that always keep us alive” lead us to the threshold of a semantic breath. The film itself takes shape as a living, poetic being that explores those fleeting moments when reality and possibility meet in the blur between breaths.
