Description

Photographic installation by Linda Alterwitz, Just Breathe (unique installation for the exhibition "Breath Taking," New Mexico Museum of Art, 2020). The image illustrates a key mid-career body of work by Linda Alterwitz, her multi-layered photographic and participatory project, "Just Breathe" (2013–19). The project connected human experience and the cosmos by focusing on breath and the night sky through 188 individual "breathing portraits" captured by resting a camera on a person's chest and pointing it up to the night sky for a 30-second exposure. For exhibition, the visually oscillating stars image portraits were assembled in grids, that critics likened to a large star field or microcosm of life on earth. This body of work and individual piece were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key mid-career body of work by Linda Alterwitz in the 2010s: her photographic and participatory project, "Just Breathe," which examined both the individuality and universality of human experience in the cosmos by focusing on breath and the night sky. It consisted of 188 "breathing portraits" captured by resting a camera on a person's chest and pointing it up to the night sky for a 30-second exposure. The movement of each person's breath created a unique, finger-print-like visual oscillation of the stars above. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key body of work, which brought Alterwitz ongoing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications and institutional attention. Alterwitz's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
