Breath 1

Breathing, 2020 Signed ltd Edition of 10

Callum Latimer

Breathing is a selected still from an Arts Council England-awarded film which reflects on the

murmurations of the starlings at an old Cold War Royal Air Force base on the Eden

estuary. The birds use the abandoned base to gather before making an assault on

their long migratory flights to Eastern Europe and Russia. Both works reveal a

preoccupation and constant evaluation of the relationship between Human

endeavour and conflict with nature's continuum. We are at the same time part of and

apart from the places we occupy.

Breathing was filmed using a handheld camera. Experimenting with focus, sound

scape, used field recordings and archive recordings.
