Statement

A breath of life. If a thread running through it all were to be unwound, that would be it. With "Breath" Saskia Edens proposes just that, a mixture of breaths, in pairs- the breathing makes small holes in a sheet of ice which she carries around from person to person.(...) This is a breath of life, but also a journey across worlds -the eras of ice, fire and metal. Edens is one of those rare beings capable of combining grace and energy, violence and poetry.
