still moving
A commission from Capture
Still Moving is a photographic work in collaboration with choreographer Frauke Requardt commissioned by CAPTURE, the national agency for dance on screen in the UK. Shot on 35mm and 6x6 slide film and presented as a photographic installation, Still Moving utilises a range of viewing methodologies that borrow from early experiments in photographic movement. Through creating close relationships between on screen action, audience interaction and image presentation Still Moving explores motion and emotion through a narrative that witnesses three peoples journey through a powerful experience that shapes the environment around them. The work probes the relation between still and moving image questioning what makes a ‘moving’ image?

Online exhibition Evolution del'art - A collaboration between SPACE and Cesare Pietroiusti
Commissioned by HAPPEN, an arts organisation in Bedfordshire, to make a video exploring the role of arts in regeneration. Balancing the precarious alliance between institutional criticism, artistic product and commissioning processes, Callaghan’s approach reflects on the ideas, theory, policy and practice of regeneration and the arts that lead to such commissions. The result is a work that highlights the disconnect between the language of regeneration and the people and places that it is intended to effect. Online video link
