Between Breaths is a moving image work that explores how collective living is shaped by rhythm within everyday urban conditions. The final outcome takes the form of a time based film that focuses on duration, repetition, and subtle shifts in attention rather than narrative events or visual spectacle.

The work presents the city as a rhythmic condition structured by mechanical repetition. Fixed street views, anonymous walking figures, and continuous urban sound establish an environment where movement becomes automatic and emotionally flattened. Within this state, the film does not introduce visible moments of ritual or transformation. Instead, it allows rhythm to be sensed through reduction, by thinning sound, slowing perception, and creating pauses within repetition.

Ritual is intentionally not shown as an image or event. Representing ritual visually would separate it from everyday life and turn it into something exceptional. In this work, ritual exists as a perceptual condition rather than an action. It becomes noticeable only through shared exposure to time and space and through gradual changes in attention.

The final outcome operates through restrained visual and sonic codes that prioritise continuity over resolution. By avoiding clear conclusions or dramatic shifts, the film positions collective rhythm as something that already exists within ordinary life. Between Breaths invites viewers to notice how moments of awareness and connection quietly emerge in the space between noise and silence, movement and stillness.
