Anna Irina Russell - The first flower is born in the air

Inauguration of the exhibition The first flower is born in the air by Anna Irina Russell.

This exhibition displays the artist’s body of work related to breathing. Understood as a basic gesture that considers the contact with both the other and with oneself, breathing – like language– is noticeable only by its absence. Only when we lack words, when we find ourselves devoid of inspiration, do we remember our constitutive vulnerability. Through this exhibition, conceived as a lung that expands and lives with each intake of un/known air, the museum becomes an organism that simultaneously embodies and makes visible the precariousness of breathing as well as offering us a space to oxygenate ourselves.
