Deep Breath @ the Design Museum
Freya Spencer-Wood - Deep Breath, is open till the 22nd September 2024
The exhibition is the culmination of 8-months worth of research I carried out at the Future Observatory by Freya, as a Design Researcher in Residence.
This trailer is for the short film -A 10,000 year-long breath- that forms part to the exhibition.
Building upon data produced by peatland scientists, the film showcases the phenomena of bog breathing and the dance of the mythical will-o'-the-wisp.
It asks you to breathe with the peat bogs of the Flow Country in the North of Scotland, and to reflect on one’s own queer, climatic identity and relationship with the climate emergency.
