Breathing China is  an approach to everyday life, observing another culture. At first view, the image is uncertain but the small connections in the individual videos creates a single scene that is split into two different moments. The three videos show six different everyday life scenes from different social environments. Simple people working, a drinking tea ceremony, as well as children waiting to be photographed are showing similarities reflecting the Chinese culture but also specific to the eastern European culture that is miles away.
