Paul Hutchinson proposes The Big Deep Breath – a series of art events that would showcase the population breathing. This would include films, performance and sound recordings involving and exploring the physical and philosophical action of people breathing – during exercise, sleeping, dancing, walking, anxious, happy. Local athletes and celebrities would participate alongside all members of the community, while the project also proposes to put performed breathing into broadcast schedules and the school curriculum. This life-affirming and celebratory communal exercise would culminate in a large scale ‘group breathe’ and an exhibition of work from the project.
