Exhale, 2021, installation (audio archive (1:20:17), lighting gel, speakers, video (16:40), paper, cotton thread), MPavilion Parkade.

For one night only on 28 March, hundreds of the things that Melburnian’s longed for, missed and yearned for during our 111-day lockdown were released into the night.

Exhale is a city-wide archive documenting what was sacrificed in 2020 for the freedom of movement we now enjoy.

Listen, take a deep breath and add your longings to the archive.
