Breathing Peace: From Sunrise to Sunset

Performance
Credit:

In a world shaken by war, division, and unrest, we invite you to return to the most essential, the most human: the breath.

Breathing Peace is a durational performance work by Sophie Dupont, marking International Peace Day. From sunrise to sunset, the space of Rådhuspladsen becomes a collective lung. A living, breathing sculpture made of bodies in presence. Together, we inhale and exhale peace — for ourselves, for each other, and for the world.

Participants are invited to walk slowly together in a circle, breathing in rhythm. One by one, each person steps into the center and draws a line from their body outward — creating a full sun shape throughout the day. By sunset, this drawing becomes a quiet, visual record — a collective mark of care, presence, and peaceful activism.


DA:

I en verden rystet af krig, splittelse og uro, inviterer vi dig til at vende tilbage til det mest essentielle, det mest menneskelige: åndedrættet.

Breathing Peace er et performanceværk af kunstneren Sophie Dupont, skabt i anledning af Den Internationale Fredsdag. Fra solopgang til solnedgang bliver Rådhuspladsen et kollektivt lunge. En levende, åndende skulptur af kroppe i tilstedeværelse. Sammen indånder og udånder vi fred — for os selv, for hinanden og for verden.
Deltagerne inviteres til langsomt at gå sammen i en cirkel, mens de ånder i takt. Én efter én træder hver person ind i midten og tegner en linje fra sin krop og udad — og skaber derved en fuld solform i løbet af dagen. Ved solnedgang står tegningen tilbage som et stille, visuelt vidnesbyrd — et fælles aftryk af omsorg, nærvær og fredelig aktivisme.
