As defined by this videomapping studio, "Pneuma is an ancient Greek word that initially means 'breathing'. Making visible the invisible of a movement of air, where air transmutes into soft shapes in its trajectories with infinite nuances; imaginaries that vary from the softest and slowest to the most vivid and imposing, from the most powerful to the most subtle. It is a journey of breath where images leave their frame to become spaces of air movements. A oneirism of movement".
