The multi-screen installation comprises thirteen short films, with one participant and one song representing each mile of the half-marathon.

Filmed across the North East and London, each piece forms a portrait of the runner, contrasting the mundane surroundings of the city streets or country lanes with the soundtrack of the song in their head.

David will be giving a talk at the gallery at 6pm on Thursday 22 September.
