Shirazeh Houshiary Breath Fine Art Animated Film Installation

Hotbox Studios worked closely with visual artist Shirazeh Houshiary in re-mastering Shirazeh's fine art film installation 'Breath'.

Breath is a four-screen video installation. Each screen displaying a delicate shimmering animated mist that expands and contracts on each of the four screens.

Hotbox Studios' Mark Hatchard and Shirazeh Houshiary have worked together on a number of animations but did not work together on the first version of the animated film installation Breath; produced back in 2003 in a non-standard low resolution.

Shirazeh Houshiary came to Hotbox Studios in 2012 wishing to bring the Breath film installation up to date to allow for the animation to be played on modern HD LCD screens. Mark Hatchard worked with Shirazeh Houshiary in re-mastering the Breath animation to create a true HD version of the original SD animation.
