Still Running
2009
Still Running uses a process called Chronocutting; a reversal of Muybridge’s multi camera technique. The source footage is a 1970s AA advert. A small slice from the middle of the frame was taken and copied 12 times. Each time the section was copied it was placed a fraction of a second behind the previous part. Consequently some elements from the scene remain constant whilst others move. So here the girl appears to be running on the spot whilst the boy passes from slice to slice, as if winning the race. A Grand National soundtrack from the period compliments the motion.
Screened at: Memorial Art Gallery, Hastings (2009).
