BODYSIGHT is an audio-visual environment exploring London landmarks from the perspective of a dancer's body. The selected London sites include London Eye, Camden Market and Hyde Park. It challenges the assumption that the dancer�s body is an object to be looked at and offers an environment for the viewer to experience what the dancing body can �see� and �hear� in the moment of dance. Video and sound material was initially recorded with small digital videocameras which were attached by means of special accessories to various parts of a dancer's body in order to trace views and sounds of the surrounding environment. Five video loops with accompanying soundtracks were created from this sampled material and are presented in a circular installation which surrounds the viewer. (touring 2001-2005 including Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK and New Art Gallery Walsall, Walsall, UK) |

In the original installation, the monitor was hidden in the garden and viewers were expected to discover it through following the flickering light (eel@291 Gallery, 29 August 2002, London, UK).
