Breathe with Me at Gerisch - Stiftung

Jeppe Hein: The best things in life aren't things

Jeppe Hein's solo exhibition at Gerisch – Stiftung(Foundation) offers visitors two distinct art experiences - the opportunity to view his artworks and to create their own. At the heart of the exhibition are works that explore the interplay between the body and mind, enhancing our awareness and encouraging introspection. Visitors are invited to actively participate by painting their own breath and faces on the museum walls. Engaging with the evolving artworks throughout the exhibition immerses visitors in an environment that heightens their sensory perception and encourages a more liberated approach to art. Additionally, a connection emerges among visitors as their works stand side by side, visible to both current and future visitors. Whether consciously or unconsciously influenced by the exhibition's sensory encounters, visitors will carry the impact of these experiences into their daily lives.
