This specific work is built on the relationship of two colours and their reactions to light\u2019s wavelengths. It is a spatial installation that combines large-scale paintings with slowly pulsing light.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The temporal intervals of the fluctuating light evoke a feeling of animated life on the otherwise static canvases. The rhythm of the light\u2019s pulses is a reference to the process of oxygen transfer through the human body, which takes place approximately 12-20 times every minute.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">In the process of making \u201cDeep Breath\u201d, it was important for me not to build up the paintings by means of brushstrokes, which always leave an imprint of the artist\u2019s personal handwork. By contrast, I wanted the canvas to do the work for me organically, so I chose to seep paint through its texture instead of painting on it. In this way, the process moves closer to correlate with the organic diffusion of oxygen in the body.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The installation is built to have a character of a passage, a walk-in slit, which urges the viewer to step inside and observe the changing structure of the paintings up close. It is crucial to make the viewer a part of this deep breath, rather than to let them follow it from afar.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-741\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2-520x693.jpg 520w, https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michalczinege.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4119-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Installation view from the exhibition Material Light, Northern Photographic Centre, Oulu, Finland, 2021.
