A VISUAL JOURNEY 

MATCHES

In Matches Guy Nader and Mickael ‘Marso’ Riviere construct a visually breathtaking place where destruction and renewal, devastation and beauty are never far apart.

Filmed, edited and performed by Marso

Marking the 120th anniversary of the first medical X-Ray performed in Birmingham by radiology pioneer Major John Hall-Edwards, Hippodrome CREATIVE has commissioned an innovative new digital dance film and sonic soundscape to commemorate this scientific breakthrough. As part of World Radiography Day, the short film will be launched on our social media channels and the digital screens in our foyers, and in partner venues Birmingham City University and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Award-winning contemporary dance and Hip-Hop performer/choreographer Mickael ‘Marso’ Riviere will create a new solo dance work in response to sound artist Justin Wiggan’s sonic soundscape collated from ‘hidden’ body sounds and X-Ray equipment. British Institute of Radiology artist in residence Hugh Turvey, will then produce a stop animation digital film that fuses together the performance with X-ray imagery.
