Performance: Being-in-the-Breathable: an annotated walk

Robert Bean and Barbara Lounder present an annotated walk about breathing, the phenomenology of weather and the politics of climate change. It responds to the contingencies of the Sokołowsko sanatorium as a site of healing and conflict. Participants consider the internal experience of breathing and the haptic sensation of weather through actions that utilize movement, performance, objects and sound. The artists adapt contemporary strategies of psychogeography for this project. Psychogeography, theorized by Guy Debord in 1955, is the spatial and literary practice of the Situationist International for mapping emotional, psychological and political meanings of urban spaces.
