INHALEXHALE is a lightbox installation inviting individual and communal acts of self-care in response to breathlessness and social anxiety in the era of late capitalism. Ecological catastrophe, corruption and police brutality quite literally robs us of our breath. Reflective 'gold' materials set to a radial rising from the ground like sun rays provides a focus and reflection point to establish inner calm. It’s a visual representation of mindful breathing, the rhythm and flow from inhale(to)exhale.

Dean Hutton is a genderqueer, trans media artist who provokes dialogue about the gaze, queer bodies, love and social justice. Working across photojournalism, print, digital, video, social media, performance and community action since the late 1990s, they perform as Goldendean in an evolving series celebrating radical softness and the right of non-conforming bodies to be seen as beautiful, safe and lovable.

Through textual meditations and glowing sculptures, they tenderly defy social violence. Soft Radical produces intimate 'comfort objects' using 3D, haptic, and virtual reality technologies. Currently Hutton is an artist in residence at the University of Johannesburg.
