RESPIRAÇÃO

docu - performance, Algarve (PT), 2018

TO SEE A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND.

— WILLIAM BLAKE

CONCEPT / PHOTOGRAPHY:
Jelena Pavlović

I am seated at the edge of land in Lagos, Portugal, facing the ocean with my back to it.

For 30 minutes, I simply breathe.

Humid air

Filling my lungs

Warm breath

Carving my skin

In the documentation of the performance, I explored the image as a suspended fragment within a larger temporal field. Withdrawn from cinematic flow, the image is no longer secured by sequence. Can an archive do more than preserve—can it transform?

Nothing unfolds as event.

The image remains mute — it simply holds time.
