Berni Lubell, Quicken, 1999. Installation view at FACT.

Squeeze the latex bulb to make Quicken breathe. The panting sound is unsettling, as if a person is struggling to breathe properly. Quicken was made the same year as Etiology of Innocence, after Bernie's heart condition had been diagnosed, and is situated in the gallery close to the lungs and other internal organs of the other work.
