My Heart Has Run Out Of Breath

  • Kristina Pulejkova
'My Heart Has Run Out Of Breath' is a collaborative audio-visual project by visual artist Kristina Pulejkova and musician and Piano Magic member Glen Johnson.
Both music and imagery are inspired by 70s science fiction films, especially films made by the Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. The animation uses images from the original pieces and aims to isolate them from their environment, putting them into different contexts and relations to other characters. Creating a moving image collage, the piece portrays the characters' fears and desires.
My Heart Has Run Out Of Breath has been performed in Cafe Oto, one of the London leading experimental music venues, as a part of a group show at the Brunel Museum Tunnel Shaft in London for the Art Licks Weekend Festival and in the Electric Palace Cinema in Hastings, UK.
Imagined as a series of audio visual performances, where sound and video are played live, the piece will result in a music album containing an dvd and an art zine released through Second Language record label.
