Breathing Space is a video projection and directional sound installation sited within a corridor running the length of the 16th Century Vaults, underneath Glasgow Railway Station. The work evolved from a feeling I had whilst in the space of the intended work; an image of a little girl hanging from the ceiling by her arms, looking straight down the corridor at the viewer. Within the work a young girl inhabits the environment, her energy shifting dynamically throughout the length of the corridor - at times energetically sprinting past the viewer, at other times suspended at the end, looking straight ahead; the sound of her breathing and dress rustling, engulfing the space and her presence immersing the audience.
As in Anon, the audience feels a tangible live human presence, yet in fact there is only pre-recorded digital image and sound.
