Ha Chi Ki

Tomás Saraceno’s Ha Chi Ki… reveal the irregular geometrical structure produced by bubbles as they meet, forming unique and unpredictable traces of breath. Ha, the word for breath in Hawaiian mirrors Chi in Chinese, and Ki in Japanese, to name only a few. While they enclose culturally specific worldviews, they all draw a connection between the air we breathe, the essence of life, and the cosmic energy that traverses all that is, pointing to a common impulse to locate in the breath the meeting of matter and spirit. In the context of today’s environmental injustices and pressing racial and social inequalities, Ha Chi Ki… ponders: What are our inhales made of? What do we exhale into the world? And who has the right to breathe at all?
