Il Respiro Corto (Shortness of Breath) / Miglietta, Enzo., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-06062-6176
Scope and Contents

This piece was commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. Miglietta writes in an accompanying letter that the most important sign of sickness is shortness of breath. In this picture, he depicts breathing as a diamond shape which becomes smaller from outward inward as breathing shortens owing to environmental damage present on earth and in air, such as smoke, toxins, wasteful consumerism etc. In hundreds of cells, he writes the names, causes and possible causes of these insults. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Il Respiro del Cielo della Tierra dell Uomo (The Breathing of the Sky, of the Earth, of the Man) / Miglietta, Enzo., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-06063-6177
Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. Miglietta writes the Sackners that he considers breathing as a metaphor for origins of the universe (implosion and explosion). He depicts a white lifeline for the sky, earth or man and breathing as an infinite succession of diamond shapes. The blue color indicates sky, green earth, and red men, all bound to the harmonious lifeline in which is written "live together." A surrounding, infinite grille symbolizes ideas beyond his comprehension. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
