“Between Breaths” was presented jointly by the Paris-based Japanese art and fragrance brand Miya Shinma and Septième from July 23rd to August 5th, 2022. Four parts of the exhibition were staged in four corners in our space: Part I. Exchange; Part II. Growth; Part III. Ma (Japanese for “between”; Part IV. Yugen (Japanese for “mysterious profundity”). Through the interweaving of fibers, soft and warm washi paper, and the naturally dynamic and powerful fragrance of MIYA SHINMA, the Japanese aesthetic consciousness was extended, re-focusing on the long-overlooked idea of “breath”. Within the invisible rhythm and energy of breathing, the exhibition provoked reflections on the bond between fragrance and people, nature, and space.
“呼吸之间”展览由源于巴黎的日式艺术香水品牌Miya Shinma与SEPTIÈME空间于2022年7 月23日至8月5日共同呈现。这场展览展览由四个部分组成,分别展示在四个空间之中: Part I. 交换 Exchange;Part II. 生⻓ Growth;Part III. 间 Ma;Part IV. 幽玄 Yugen。透过纤维交错、柔莹温郁的和纸与MIYA SHINMA自然灵动、充满张力的香气,将日本审美意识进行延伸,重新关注⻓久以来被置之一旁的“呼吸”,在呼吸无形的律动与力量之中,引发有关香气与人、自然和空间之关系的反思。
