BREATHE to premiere in Geneva

In a divided and fast-moving world BREATHE is a 15-metre rising sphere pulsing with a warm and rhythmic light; the epicentre from which the breath radiates to unite people across a city and worldwide. May 16-26 in Geneva at Plainpalais, the Jet d’eau water fountain, the UN building and more, plus a globally synchronised website for friends, family and strangers around the world to slow down and breathe in unison: Breathe-now.com
