‘Still Breathing’ 2006 looped video
Projected looped video. Self portrait photograph videoed from above. I placed a bubble gum bubble over my grimacing face. (a pose borrowed from a face yoga book, mouth open exercise, to assist with facial muscle balance) I videoed the bubble as it deflates. It plays backwards and forwards in a loop, the bubble blowing up and down.
