A conspiracy of fictions, eroticisms, and breathing, after toxic suffocation.
When visiting the abandoned mines in Cabeço do Pião, in Fundão, the suffocating and toxic mining leftovers remained in our bodies: contaminated dust particles, the silenced stories of exploited workers, and, also, the monoculture of the compulsory heterosexual regime. From that feeling, we took as our starting point the gesture of breathing in its transformational and hallucinatory potential. We investigated the material of air as an invisible and living interface that creates circulations and unexpected meshes between human beings and more than humans. We conspire to create fictions of a community connected through the air and by collective rhythms of breathing. We experiment with eroticisms and vitalities by listening to our breathing, summoning vaporous, ethereal, and circulating forces.
