Running Piece (2001)

The camera is static and records the feet and legs of a woman attempting to leap across the visual frame of the camera. The footage shows only a small fragment of what is taking place; it is the sound that ‘describes’ the space of the room. There are two frames within the piece, the first, the visual frame; the second, the frame of the room which is hidden and only described or alluded to through sound, the mapping of the body to the site.

The film was shot in an abandoned dilapidated building, where the external world encroaches on the internal one.
