Breathe at Salisbury Cathedral

Breathe (2022-24 on-going)

installed at Salisbury Cathedral

Breathe (2022-24 on-going) was shown at Salisbury Cathedral in the exhibition 'Our Earth', (20 April - 6 October 2024). Two new stagings of the project were installed, firstly a projection of the animation suspended in the interior of the 800 year Gothic cathedral in the north choir aisle, next to the northwest transept - secondly 3 large-scale banners on the outside walls of the cathedral, close to the cathedral's main entrance. 3 drawings from the over 1,300 that have been made were photographed and then scaled up, increasing in size from approximately 90 mm to 5.33 metres. The exhibition 'Our Earth: Art, Faith and the Climate Crisis', was curated by Beth Hughes, it focused on the impact of climate change, considering how our lives will be increasingly affected and how this will be felt differently across the world.

Also in the exhibition was work by Hilary Jack, Rebecca Chesney, Derek Jarman and Elias Sime. The video (viewable below) of the projection of 'Breathe' in the cathedral, was made during Choral Evensong, with the sounds of the cathedral's choir and organ.

With thanks to Beth Hughes and the team at Salisbury Cathedral, also to Fergus O'Connor. Dryden Goodwin's on going project 'Breathe', is produced by Invisible Dust.
