LEE Mingwei: Chaque souffle une danse 李明維《息之華》Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 2024

Commissioned for “Lee Mingwei: Rituals of Care” by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and co-presented by the Minnesota Street Project Foundation in 2024, “Chaque souffle une danse”, is a performance installation that a performer lights a candle when encountering the “breath drawings,” and once all the panels are lit, the performer extinguishes each candle one by one. This project offers viewers a journey through rhythms that punctuate both art and life, a possible contemplation of the symbiosis between opposites and how one gives meaning to the other.
The design of the display stand is in collaboration with Desai Chia Architecture.

I value mindfulness and the action focused on self-awareness, which seems to be far from any time or attachment.
