‘Respiración oceánica’

Respiración oceánica (Oceanic Breathing) is a performance by Itziar Okariz (San Sebastián, 1965) carried out in collaboration with Izar Okariz, which is based on the Ujjayi breathing used in the practice of yoga, of which the artist is an instructor.

The performance is composed like a heart of breaths. The meaning of the word Ujjayi is "victorious self," and it is usually translated as oceanic breath because this is the image it evokes. The piece has a figurative character, between the abstract space of the sound of breathing and the image it generates.
