Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
This is from a poetic description of a work by a Mexican painter:
El personaje permite al espectador identificarse no importa su género o afiliación vestimentaria y o sexual. Esta ambigüedad contemporánea de sus ropas y del sitio de reposo de su persona borra cualquier relato de exactitud auto- referencial y permite dislocar y localizar el cuerpo dentro y fuera de un mundo palpable. Parece un cuerpo, un fuelle respirante, porqué vestido, habitable.
Thanks

Learn Bhastrika Pranayama (Bellows Breath)
... Yoga offers a variety of techniques for fanning the fire, all focusing on the navel center. One of the most straightforward is a breathing practice called bhastrika, or bellows breathing.
Just as a bellows draws in air and pushes it across glowing coals to generate more heat,
bhastrika uses the action of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm to draw air in and out of the lungs, generating heat in the body by squeezing blood through the digestive organs, toning the liver, spleen, stomach, and pancreas, and increasing digestive capacity

live bellows
Bellows can also mean lungs, metaphorically, but that doesn't seem right in this context.
Also, "breathing" bellows seems (and sounds) strange. "a live bellows" could be one possible option using the equivalent of the word "fuelle".

a bellows that breathes in and out
In this context, 'fuelle' is most likely to mean bellows (the instrument in the picture), although it has many other meanings:
2. Any flexible container or enclosure, as one used to cover a moving joint.
(informal or archaic) The lungs.
3. (photography) Flexible, light-tight enclosures connecting the lensboard and the camera back.
Here is the definition for the object in the picture:
A device for delivering pressurized air in a controlled quantity to a controlled location. At its most simple terms a bellows is a container which is deformable in such a way as to alter its volume which has an outlet or outlets where one wishes to blow air.

I know that people use bellows to blow air into a fire to keep it going. So, maybe it wants to reinforce the fact that the bellows blows air out similarly to how a person breathes.
