Breathe with Me: A Conversation with Jeppe Hein on Art and Mental Health
Wednesday, 22 January, 2025
Artist Jeppe Hein discusses Breathe with Me, a participatory artwork that invites the public to paint their breath on large canvases, visualizing the invisible act of breathing. Through an interview with Jess Berlanga Taylor, Hein reflects on the work’s themes of interconnectedness and cooperation, drawing from his own mental health journey to emphasize the importance of mindfulness and presence. By painting their breath, participants create a collective experience, symbolizing shared rhythms of life. Hein highlights how the act of "breathing together" fosters unity, mental well-being, and a deeper awareness of our relationship with each other and the environment.
