Fast Forward



WORK IT OUT - RJD2

Bill Shannon, the man flitting around effortlessly in this video, was born with a degenerative hip disease where his lower limbs physically cannot support his body weight; he has spent his entire life on crutches. "No legs"? No problem. The way he uses motion is a personalized, stylized, completely Bill-Shannon way of moving.

Not sure which is more aggravating, that feeling of "going nowhere fast" or this man who completely (and humbling-ly) obliterates us with facile movement for whining about that in the first place.

So... why is this relevant? 

Our November exhibition: something to do with going nowhere fast.
