Galleryskye presents “A breath held long” featuring the work of Sudarshan Shetty. The film proposes an intersection between voice, body and the city and the act of breathing as a metaphor for a life within an urban landscape. The work brings together a group of actors and singers from Mumbai whose performances unfold through a series of single-line narratives and music. The lines, without punctuation, that speak of short personal events within the city, demand an awareness of breath as a temporal medium. The act of breathing in and out become compositional devices- intervals through which rhythm and exhaustion surface as material conditions for speaking and being.
