Organised by Whitechapel Gallery

‘… promises to be an exhibition for this moment’ –The Guardian
Across a range of projections and screens dispersed throughout the galleries, Moving Bodies, Moving Images brings together a selection of short films made in the last decade by contemporary artists exploring the intersection of dance, choreography and moving image. The presented works focus on performing bodies and unfold as both individual works but also as collective storytelling, exploring timely topics, ranging from gender politics and desire to bodily memory, resistance, personal healing and collective identities.
Also on display are materials related to the making of the films, including production stills, research, reference texts and scores.
Films are on a timed rotation. To enhance your visit we recommend booking a free time slot.
This exhibition has been generously supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
