On the screen a single figure, dressed in generic army fatigues, moved continuously through a series of exercises against the backdrop of a Persian landscape.
Using 3D motion scanning, these exercises are captured from movement created in collaboration with award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor.
The result was a compelling and unsettling reflection on modernity, portraiture and history.
