An epic video installation and first solo exhibition in the UK, by  
French-Armenian artist Melik Ohanian. Ohanian has received  
international acclaim for works in a broad range of media that  
address issues of personal autonomy and identity, access to territory  
and information, as well as conceptions of time in today’s global  
culture. With a background in documentary filmmaking and cinema,  
Ohanian expands on research into places, people and events to create  
poetic installations and interventions.

Live Screen at Sadler’s Wells is a fascinating evening where  
choreography and cinematography meet to create a unique hybrid art  
form, showcasing a number of powerful short films.
Bringing together work by choreographers, visual artists, independent  
filmmakers and directors, this unusual body of work addresses the  
role of choreography and the body in film.
Works include performance artist Mark McGowan’s Swimming (2005) and  
Belgian filmmaker and composer Thierry de Mey’s Musique de Tables  
(1999); The evening will also feature Birds (2000), a film made  
entirely from archive footage that turns the natural movements of  
birds into an exhilarating dance, by UK filmmaker David Hinton and  
choreographer Yolande Snaith. The evening culminates in a screening  
of Sergei Paradjanov’s beautiful film The Colour of Pomegranates.
