The Running Tongue Siobhan Davies-David Hinton | 28 min | United Kingdom | 2015

After their successful first collaboration on All This Can Happen (2012), Siobhan Davies and David Hinton have worked together for the second time to make a film installation in with 22 dance artists, sound artists and animators. Footage of a running woman is played continuously in a loop, freezing at random intervals to reveal selected frames treated by each of the artists. Combining collage, repetition, static and moving image the frozen frames unveil a scene embedded in reality with fleeting moments of strange, surreal and visually poetic activity. Proverbs from the book ‘Never Marry a Woman With Big Feet’ form a large element of the soundscape and informed the visions that we see when the frames stop. Screened within a black-box the viewers’ attention is drawn to the life size projection of the running women, allowing them to identify with her throughout her journey.

Imagery devised by the following dance artists:
Gaby Agis, Frank Bock, Seke Chimutengwende, Katye Coe, Nicola Conibere, Siobhan Davies, Robin Dingemans, Simon Ellis, Fred Gehrig, Alexandrina Hemsley, Wendy Houstoun, Annie Lok, Henry Montes, Charlie Morrissey, Freddie Opoku-Addaie, Florence Peake, Lauren Potter, Efrosini Protopapa, Deborah Saxon, Eleanor Sikorski, Matthias Sperling, Alexander Whitley.
