“Life begins with an inhale and ends with an exhale. In-between we all breathe and live different lives. And yet, each breath keeps us together, connected, sharing the same air.”- Jeppe Hein

Join artist Jeppe Hein and the organization ART 2030 in Central Park, September 25-27 and paint your own individual breath for the participatory artwork Breathe with Me and for Climate Action!

Breathe with Me is an interactive public art project to raise awareness that the air we breathe is part of our connected world and climate. In ‘Breathe with Me’ every breath takes the form of painted blue lines on canvas walls: each participant paints as they exhale in long downward brush strokes, creating a continuous mural. Everyone paints the lines of their breath differently, yet each line forms part of a universal whole.

The artwork will be one of the largest public art projects inside Central Park in recent years. Thousands of participants will be invited to paint their breath in a communal art action over three days. ‘Breathe with Me’ will take the form of six huge canvas waves flowing for almost 600 feet through the heart of the park, on which the public will be invited to paint their breath, with paints and brushes provided by Jeppe Hein and ART 2030.
