John Gerrard  Infinite Freedom Exercise

 
Sited outdoors in the city centre, John Gerrard’s new piece Infinite Freedom Exercise (near Abadan, Iran) became an infinitely evolving hyper realistic virtual world, played out 24 hours a day.

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.
