Susan Hefuna @ Pi Artworks

The exhibition brings together four films from Susan Hefuna’s CROSSROADS series, including a new iteration produced in London in collaboration with students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
The series exhibited at Pi Artworks London centres on different parts of the world such as Cairo, the Nile Delta and Frankfurt (Oder), and London in which two roads intersect. Each video consists of a stationary, single-take shot filmed from an upper floor window ledge. The camera’s angle and motionlessness in addition to the absence of post-production creates a starkly empirical and evidential feel reminiscent of CCTV camera footage. They document interconnected bodies that influence each other’s movement as they travel through small cross-sections of a city.
