A spy mirror foil covers a 7 meter long light box on the outside facade of the MEMPHIS artspace/Linz. The words INHALEEXHALE appear and disappear in the reflecting surface. This message spotlights the unconscious process of breathing. As a commentary on the busy street, on the one hand, and as a fragile, oppressive word message about the pandemic, on the other. 

An edition of 10 consisting of a 7 inch vinyl and a fine art print has been created to accompany the installation on the facade: a female voice with a dark, smoky timbre can be heard telling a story about the "Kiss of Life". The 10 selected kiss scenes of the print series are taken from politics, pop culture and religion. Held in pastel hues, a disconcerting circular hole adorns the scene, forming an empty space exactly where a kiss had been before.The edition is available through Kunstraum Memphis while supplies last (office@memphismemph.is.)
