Breath Quartet is a collective of four artists consisting of Patrick Ziza (movement/artist), Marcus Herne (sound artist), James Merrell (photographer, and artist founder, Margot Wilson. The collective perform rituals to our common ancestors on the annual solstices and equinoxes in site-specific environments, working through mediums of performance, sculpture, painting, drawing and sound. Breath Quartet performances are a collaborative blend of human and cosmic breath speaking to in human interrelation irrespective of gender, race, class, religion, or politic.
Breath Quartet’s creative methods is through improvisational approaches and breathing techniques that dive into a spiral wave of energy, effectively initiating the body to naturally start moving, aided, and amplified by soundscapes. Wilson, Ziza, and Herne, enter into a trance, erupting into a cosmic phenomenon reaching to an altered state of mind.
