Kimsooja transforms the vast expanse of Coachella Valley into a luminous mirage with To Breathe, an iridescent glass installation that interacts with the landscape.
The work is wrapped in a diffraction film that refracts natural light into a shifting spectrum of colors, immersing visitors in an ephemeral experience of light, air, and space.
The transparent, textile-like film covering To Breathe features a grid of vertical and horizontal scratch lines, dissolving the boundaries between structure and environment.
At dusk, the installation reflects the desert landscape, and the glass acts as a filter, altering the appearance of the surroundings when viewed through it.
