An abstract glass tongue muscle turns into a speaker for a voice. The audio work INHALEEXHALE was created in the course of the first lockdown. A smoky timbre can be heard through the glass object. In a fairy-tale and eerie manner, the voice recites a text about the "Kiss of Life".
A purple laser beam disappears into an opposite hole in the wall. If the narrow line of light is crossed, the fans begin to blow the withered leaves through the room for a short while. This is a Sleeping Beauty tale of a different kind, also reflecting on a monstrous awakening, and the artificial slumber caused by a pandemic defense.
