Breathing Lights
LED lights, electronics, 200 abandoned houses / Site-specific / Multi-city / 2016
For two months, Breathing Lights illuminated the windows of 200 vacant homes in three upstate NY cities. Warm light filled each window with a diffuse glow that emulated the rhythm of human breathing. Through eight months of programming that included more than 100 events, our team set out to give voice to the neighborhoods we were lighting, while facilitating discussions about vacancy, disinvestment, and the role that art can play in combating civic issues.
