Pak Sheung Chuen’s Breathing in a House, 2006 Hong Kong artist Pak Sheung Chuen’s installation is the outcome of his stay in an average two person flat (6.7m x 2.7m x 2.2m) in Busan, Korea. He carried on living his normal daily routine there, but in the meantime collected all of his breath in transparent plastic bags until they consumed the entire living space. The work is a performative investigation into the everyday living situation of the place as well as a sculpturally investigation into the air-space which is defined as the negative space of the place. After completion he felt as if part of his life had been absorbed by the apartment.
