Breathless in Bordeaux: exhibition examines the process of breathing as a political and poetic act

Curator Cédric Fauq describes the exhibition 'Air de repos' as both politically charged and poetically driven, drawing inspiration from Franco Berardi's essays to highlight essential questions about breathing in a capitalist world.

The exhibition is presented as a 'museum without images', focusing on alternative senses and artistic expressions that challenge the suffocation caused by pollution and capitalism.

With installations like Carolyn Lazard's air purifiers and Cameron Rowland's scent-detection wall, the show uses conceptual art to address urgent social and environmental issues.

Fauq emphasizes the importance of highlighting both political and poetic dimensions in art practices, believing that poetic thinking can lead to escaping the constraints of financial capitalism.
