Breating together

Sophie Dupont
april 17 - june 5, 2026

Breathing Together explores the invisible space between beings—and within oneself; the subtle, almost sacred exchange that unfolds when presences share silence, air, and awareness. It is a space of encounter, not only between bodies, but between a body and its own rhythm, its own interior movement.

We can only be in the world because we breathe. Breath is the condition of our presence. Everything we are— feelings, thoughts, emotions—moves with it. Each thought follows its rhythm; each sensation alters its pace. Breath is the quiet ground of consciousness.

In this exhibition, Sophie Dupont explores different ways of registering rhythm and traces of the body—ways of leaving marks of our presence as human beings through breath and body. Through sustained, minimal gestures, the imprint of her body appears as trace: a subtle indentation, a surface altered by warmth, pressure, duration. The body meets the ground; the air moves between us.

Breathing Together holds this fragile condition: to exist is already to be in relation—to oneself, to others, and to the shared atmosphere that keeps us alive.

Sophie Dupont

Sophie Dupont (b. 1975) is a Danish visual and performance artist educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and London Contemporary Dance School. Her practice unfolds across performance, installation, sculpture, and painting, grounded in a deep commitment to peace, presence, and embodied activism.

Working with breath as both medium and metaphor, Dupont creates sensorial and poetic works that emphasize the invisible force uniting all living beings. Through durational formats, repetition, and meditative awareness, her practice invites stillness and reflection in a world marked by urgency and unrest.

Sophie Dupont has, among others, exhibited at the National Gallery of Denmark (Copenhagen), KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art (Aalborg), Jordens Hus (Albertslund), Rønnebæksholm (Næstved), Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art, and internationally across many different venues. She is currently presenting a solo exhibition at Holstebro Art Museum, which will travel to Sorø Art Museum later this year. Dupont is represented in a number of public collections, including National Gallery of Denmark (Copenhagen), KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art (Aalborg), and Malmö Konstmuseum
