I WISH - YOUR BREATH



Mixed-media installation (16mm video and sound),
6’ loop, Germany, 2025
 

A mixed-media installation featuring a looping 16 mm projection with asynchronous sound. Inspired by toxoplasmosis—often linked to the so-called “cat lady syndrome”—the work explores infection, attraction, and altered perception. Through hand-edited and scratched film, image and sound interact in a continuous loop, shifting sensory experience without relying on words.
