"Breath" is an immersive installation exploring air and light as expressions of the multi-cultural and mysterious significance of breath, spirit, wind, and the numinous. Choreographed fans and projections billow and dance across luminescent silk to an ethereal soundtrack at St John's Anglican Church. Breath is by composer Ian Chia and video artist Darryl Rogers.
