“Third Breath” is an installation artwork created in 2005 by James Turrell. It belongs to the Light and Space and Environmental (Land) Art movements, and is part of the artist’s “Skyspaces” series.
The artwork features a circular opening in the ceiling, through which the sky can be seen. The architectural setting is illuminated with a vibrant blue light, creating an immersive and contemplative space for viewers. Turrell’s work masterfully engages with natural light and architectural elements to challenge perception and invite introspection. The seamless integration of light and space serves as a testament to the artist’s exploration of human visual and sensory experiences. The geometry and vibrant hues in the piece create a tranquil, almost otherworldly atmosphere, emblematic of Turrell’s broader oeuvre within the Skyspaces series.
