Uninflected Continuity (after Rainer)' by Anna Hart, 2020.
Anna Hart’s 'Uninflected Continuity (after Rainer)' was made with nine women walking together virtually in Granary Square London, using Yvonne Rainer’s instructions for lockdown dance in our homes based on her 1963 work 'Terrain'. Anna has been researching publicness in Granary Square for over ten years, testing what publicness is and might be in a place where CGI and embodied being are entwined. The film explores this relationship in a pandemic public space free of commercial exchange.
This film is part of ‘Four Films of Solace’, a series of short films created by The Dazzle Club co-founders responding to, and working with, archives of Dazzle Walks from the previous year. The films highlight the interrelation of the body and our city as surveillance journals of women walking in London, transforming distance and depth into a pure surface. The series was comissioned by curator Amy Gowen for the exhibition ‘Rights of Way’ at Onomatopee, Eindhoven in November 2020.
In August 2021 we are gathering things and looking back at what The Dazzle Club has made over the last two years. In August 2022 we will publish a conversation revisiting this work and our questions.
