WHAT COMPELS US was developed through an invitation from Professor Jane Davidson for the National Gallery of Victoria Triennial’s research hub

Digital video, 6 minutes 50 seconds

WHAT COMPELS US is a video artwork that weaves together Woodward’s sculptural video work with her artistic research into the relationship between movement, bodies and empathy, to explore the question “what compels us towards things that move?”

WHAT COMPELS US was presented in the research hub during the National Gallery of Victoria Triennial from December 2017 to April 2018, and is also hosted on the Triennial “Voices” website here.

A podcast is available here in which Timothy Moore interviewed Woodward about WHAT COMPELS US.
