A mechanical spectacle about Water, the most imminent and yet intimate topic of our times. Housed in and around the body of a life size and partially articulated whale sculpture.
A Breath Under Water, leads the audience into a sensory space, touching all facets of water, from its poetry and mystic stories, its importance in daily life, until the very topical issue of the impact of our behavior on the environment.
The project is now fully developed and in search of financing.
A Breath Under Water concept development with Nik Leuthold/CH and Claudius Bensch/D Initiating force for the mobile art project: Marco Colabucci /I
Pre-production has led to collaboration with a multidisciplinary team and numerous international machine artists, as well as static and environmental engineers. Amongst others: Jet van Heteren /NL and Cyril Fernandez /F, Bernhard Chaperon /F, Seb Lamparsky /D, Jenny Bock /D, Mike Tucker /GB, Jim Whiting /GB, Jerry Jester /GB, Babu Fuhrer /CH, Luca Minotti /CH, Bart Sabels /NL, Daniël Rogier ‘t Sas /NL, Tiberio Scozzafava /I, Geckobau /CH
