Breathe Harder
Date uploaded: July 16, 2014
Yorkshire Sculpture Park presents Breathe Harder, a new site-specific performance by Helen Benigson AKA Princess Bellsize Dollar, on Saturday the 2nd of August 2014.
Breathe Harder explores ideas of weight, body and sculpture as five female weightlifters lift weights near Barbara Hepworth's, The Family of Man (1970). Within the public context of YSP, the performers take on a sculptural presence as visitors watch them at all angles in a theatrical spectacle both fictional and absurd.
Born in 1985 and based in London, Benigson is a video artist and rapper whose interdisciplinary practice includes performance, video installation, printmaking, text, sound and music.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is Art Fund Museum of the Year 2014.
