Installation view, Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press: Pranayama Typhoon at Barakat Contemporary, Seoul
“Pranayama Typhoon combines the word “pranayama,” a breathing technique that dates back to ancient India, with the word “typhoon,” a catastrophic weather phenomenon, which is also the name of a state-of-the- art fighter plane. The title of the exhibition hints at the collision of human breath with the unpredictable, destructive forces of nature. Banner conceived the work in Pranayama Typhoon during the Covid lockdown in the UK."
