Heatscapes, 2015

Filmed entirely using thermal imaging cameras at the 2015 Great North Run, Heatscapes is a series of short films that trace the race participants' journeys through the cityscape. The cameras make visible the glowing heat generated by the runners' bodies during their training, warm up and the race itself, and reveal the temporary heat prints transferred from the runners onto the urban fabric as they move through the city.

Heatscapes premiered at The Gallery, Tyneside Cinema where the artist conceived a multi-screen installation specifically for The Gallery, transforming the space via multiple projections.

Heatscapes is a Great North Run Culture Moving Image Commission.
