FILM SCREENING AND ARTIST TALK
Thank you for joining us for the Screening of the Short Documentary about the Art Installation
BREATH ing HEART and Talk with Johanna Keimeyer, on Sunday April 29th.
Thanks to all our amazing supporters who made it happen!
More info:
The documentary about the Art Installation BREATH ing HEART followed by an artist talk, shows the current work of the Berlin based artist Johanna Keimeyer which debuted at Art Basel June 2017. The documentary (production by David Kettner, Picsters) premiered at Spektrum, SoHo House Berlin and at Spring Studios NYC in 2017.
Keimeyer installed a giant heart with 10 meter diameter in a historical water filter in Basel. The vault was staged as the interior of the visitor’s own body. Artificial oversized lung alveoli, vein-like light installations and spatially wandering sounds of music, heartbeat and breath created a space where one could focus on one‘s inner being. Keimeyer invited the audience to enter the breathing heart, lie down and listen to their own breath and heartbeat. Even an evocative scent was developed for the heart.
Artist collaboration with:
Kling Klang Klong Sound Konzept mit Komposition
Studio Farbraum: Lichtprogrammierung
Lux Imago: Fotografie / Dokumentation
“I would like to give people the experience to confront and feel themselves“, – the artist said.
“If it were possible to enter into an analogue heart, it could serve as a trigger for many people to finally go within themselves. Johanna Keimeyer already made this turnaround…“ – Porky, musician (Deichkind)
The heart in numbers: 75 cubic meters, 70 helpers, 250 kg plastic, 7 days set-up, 12 sponsors.
Supported by: STUDIOLO, UNDPLUS, Warsteiner, ManuTeeFaktur and Satis&fy

INSTALLATION
BREATH ing HEART is an installation of a walk-in heart, in which up to 20 persons can lay and sit at the same time. This heart fills itself with air and pulses in a breathing rhythm accompanied by light, video, scent, and sound. All happening in the 1600 square meters/ (5250) square feet of the historical water filter building where the visitor perceives to be inside their body.
Happy to announce that Fredy Hadorn from Licht Feld Gallery will contribute the location Filter4. Kling Klang Klong will create the sound concept and composition and Studio Farbraum programms the LEDs. The artist started her crowdfunding-campaign and succeeded in winning Novartis as a major sponsor for the realization of the interactive heart object (diameter 10 meters/ 32 feet), as well as private supporters Robert Hankin and Ruth Stadler. Speakers of the British manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins ensure the implementation of the sound field and strongly support the project as well. Mezeaudio also joined, providing headsets. Open Innovation Space support the project with 3D printed parts and K.Schweizer with electrical engineering. KIRRON light components shine with establishing their innovative DycoLED light system.
