Talia Smith: Untitled (walking)

Untitled (walking) shows a woman in high heels trudging back and forth over a range of surfaces – rocky cliffs, sand dunes, or indoor spaces such as offices and bathrooms. Each surface creates its own set of challenges for the faceless woman and we watch the continual march of the figure across the screen. The work conveys the artist’s interest in mimetic gestures (after philosopher Luce Irigaray), and the world of silent cinema, in particular comedy and slapstick.

Exhibited in CCP’s Night Projection Window 7 nights a week after dark.
