What's it about

By Anna Irina Russell

The practice of Anna Irina Russell is oriented toward sculpture and installation as a place to model other forms of language, the body, and life. With great respect for the expressive capacity of matter, in recent years she has focused her research on experimenting with soft and inflatable materials, putting her touch at the service of what finds no place in words or even in images: overflow, contagion, suffocation; what exists, but perhaps is not. This exhibition deploys the body of Anna Irina Russell's work related to breathing. Understood as a basic gesture to think about contact with the other and with oneself, breathing — like language — only becomes noticeable in its absence. Only when we run out of words, when we become incapable of an inspiration, do we remember our constitutive vulnerability. With this show, conceived as a lung that expands and lives with each breath of the unknown, the museum becomes the organism that both embodies and makes visible the precariousness of breathing, while offering us a space to oxygenate ourselves.
