Respirare l’ombra (To Breathe the Shadow) is a work of 2000 by Giuseppe Penone, included in the exhibition of his work at the National Museum of Qatar. Like much of the artist’s practice, it draws attention to the exchange between the human body and the natural world, and to the living processes that shape sculpture. The image shows the work installed with Alberi libro (Book Trees), 2017, in the Serpentine South presentation.
