“Inhale, Exhale” addresses the difficulties of human interactions and the limitations the Covid situation has imposed. This performance is a two-hour durational work that involves body endurance. In the first hour, two performers have dynamic movements, and in the second hour, they are static.

The audience is witnessing the performance on the sidewalk across from the SAIC’s Washington Window building. Performers are located in the interior and the exterior space of the building, separated by the glass window. They start their action by pushing their bodies against the glass that has separated them while facing one another in a symmetrical or asymmetrical composition that their body creates as they are following each other’s movements. The pressure of flattering their bodies against the glass puts more tension in their body muscles and the performers’ viewpoint, but eventually their movements are synchronized. For the second hour, they stand still while they are only connected to another by stretching their right arm and connecting their palms as they meet the glass. Performers leave their spot after two hours have elapsed.
