Friday 1 – Sunday 3 September 11am – 7pm

Outside, in between Croydon College and Fairfield Gardens

Breathing Room is an immersive, walk-in, kinetic installation by artist Anna Berry that beautifully combines organic and machine elements into a unique sensory experience. Entering the tunnel-like installation, the visitor is enveloped by 28,000 gently ‘breathing’ cones, which create a distinctive, otherworldly encounter and offers a space for contemplation and reflection. Its mechanical exterior skeleton contrasts sharply with the organic interior, which creates a sense of the uncanny and encourages the viewer to reflect on their own surroundings. Every element of the structure is bespoke and hand-made.
