Type: Installation

Audience: All ages

We lead very busy and automated lives: we wake up and enter play mode and our daily routine begins. And in all this maelstrom, we forget the little things and being present in the present. Sometimes we need to breathe.

The Parc del Poblenou is big green lung and the IED Barcelona Higher School of Design aims to boost this aspect by creating an analogy between plants as an essential feature in our lives and the need for us to take a pause to breathe, not as a physiological necessity and vital reflex, but as a relaxing breath that helps us to reduce our levels of anxiety.

The installation represents a guided breathing exercise, following the regular 4 - 7 - 8 mindfulness technique, which helps spectators to pause and focus their attention on themselves and the festival.

Students: Elena Aubà, Laia Casademont, Carla Jörgens and Marina Nafría.

Tutors: Raffaella Perrone, Horge Pérez, Michela Mezzavilla and Nacho Gómez.
