BREATHEARTHEATRE is part of The Breathearth Project and was created in June 2019 during the 36. Neuenburger Kunstwoche, the 36th Neuenburg Art Week.
As artist in residence Maria Korporal had the occasion to first develop and then present her installation on the stage of the local theater.
During her walks in the Neuenburger Urwald, the ancient forest of Neuenburg, the artist collected and photographed the leaves, flowers, twigs and insects, that were to become the living heart of this brandnew Breathearth edition.
The installation shows two projections at the same time on the stage: the smaller circle on the left has close-ups of moving insects, while the larger circle on the right shows the result of the visitors’ interaction: their gentle breath on the earth globe creates the image of colourful leaves and flowers.

The Kunstverein Bahner invites to the 36th Neuenburg Art Week from the 24th to the 30th of June 2019. This year’s theme is:
“Magic Art” – to deceive and enchant
Art appeals to very different areas in us. According to the intention of the artist his or her works can touch the mind, the emotions or the deepest levels of our soul.
The Bahner were looking for artists for the 36th Neuenburg Art Week whose works of art unfold a “magical effect”. Works of art that deceive or enchant a rational and materialistic mind.
For the Art Week 2019 Sergej Tihomirov from Hanover, Ip Kyu Jang from Dusseldorf as well as Maria Korporal from Berlin, Inge-Rose Lippok from Hanover and Jan-Hendrik Pelz from Schorndorf were invited.
During the Art Week, Maria Korporal made a new version of her interactive installation Breathearth. In the Neuenburger Urwald, she collected and photographed materials: leaves, flowers, twigs, insects, small animals and stones. With what she found in the microcosm of the forest, she created a new installation: Breatheartheatre!
