Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A review of three films by Siobhan Davies, All This Can Happen (2012), The Running Tongue (2015) and Transparent (2022), and discussion of her shift from live performance to working with the still image and film. Davies’s work is described as a kind of archaeological practice with long-form choreographic projects which are underpinned by a ‘poetics of responsibility’. Offering a reservoir of images and relations and allowing for innumerable different viewing experiences, they invite audiences to see for themselves and to grasp what embodied liveness is within each instant.
