PERPETUUM

An immersive, deeply moving video installation presented in collaboration with Light Night and Yorkshire Dance.

Choreographer Katja Heitmann collects and preserves ‘human movement’ in the Motus Mori archive. Over 2000 people, including from Leeds, have contributed their personal gestures to this archive.

In PERPETUUM, the movements of people from Leeds are projected on a monumental scale. As you get closer to their holograms, you stand face to face with them and hear the stories behind their movements. In a sea of light, your personal movement also becomes visible.
