While in the apartment, he breathed only into clear plastic bags; tying them closed when they were full and starting a new bag. The apartment quickly filled with his own breath, taking only 10 days to fill completely. Take a look at the breathy exhibit by Pak Sheung Chuen above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Breath Art:** Opportunity for artists to create art installations using breath as a medium. - **Air Pollution Monitoring:** Innovative technology to monitor the quality of air and breatheable spaces. - **Breath Therapy:** Alternative health care approach that uses breathing techniques to promote physical and mental well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can explore new forms of art that incorporate breathing as a medium. - **Environmental Monitoring:** Air pollution monitoring technology can be integrated into various industries to ensure safe and healthy environments. - **Alternative Health Care:** The health care industry can explore breath therapy as an alternative approach to promote physical and mental well-being. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflated Design Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-as-a-main-material.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Mask-Made Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidal-stories.md) - [Stress-Reducing Breathing Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathing-ball.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Immersive Breeze Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breeze-houses.md) - [Urban Brick Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terracotta-breath.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md)
