Fictions presents Susanna #4: Breath Special

It is really breath that speaks, then the lips gently separate and seem to aspirate the air.. all the forms that speaking takes – speaking quietly, rapidly, shouting, whispering, intoning – we would discover an incredible multiplicity of poetic breathing… an economy of breathing at work. – Gaston Bachelard, Air and Dreams

Breath is something we don’t notice until we do, and sometimes we really notice it. I’ve always been interested in how our breathing can be affected by external stimuli and how something that’s supposedly irregular and organic is used or emulated and what significance collective breath can have. Thanks to EZ for the inspo/input and Ry for the setup!
