The first breath expels the liquid in which life developed to let the air go. In and out. Regularly and surprisingly along more than half a billion times in a human lifetime. Most of the time, most people do not pay attention to it. Breathing is autonomous and goes its way. Silently. The air goes in and out. Discretely.
Tout passe is a behavioural work in which the three-dimensional reflection of visitors' features reveals their lungs breathing and air passing through their bodies. Tout passe is a mirror augmented by visitors’ respiratory rhythms, who appropriate them and could play with them. Tout passe is a testing ground for the influence of this virtual self on our own behaviour by attaching itself directly to our physiology, where everything passes.
