to draw, to go fast














copyrightJulieAngel2006
Julie was commissioned to create a documentary following the artist Layla Curtis on her new temporary public art piece involving a thermal imaging camera and the marks and traces left behind from traceurs (parkour practioners). Working exclusively with Parkour Generations, Layla had a week of research and development, followed by an eye opening location recce with Stephane Vigroux, then comes the unknown weather and the final days of filming. The documentary features many professional athletes including Stephane and Johann Vigroux, Forrest and Thomas Couetdic plus many more from the Parkour Generations team Premiered at the I.C.A. summer 2008. The trailer for the project can be viewed online HERE.
