Artist's biography

David Donohoe

Synopsis

'Although entirely absent from the film, the influence of sound in David Donohoe's He jumped and kicked and spun and twirled is keenly felt as a split screen shows a young boy performing gymnastic exercises for a camera carefully positioned in various positions around his home - at the bottom of a flight of stairs, in a bedroom, a conservatory and a garden. Donohoe’s film artfully captures the peculiar world of a child at play, where actions are repeated over and over again, but with purpose and expansion.'
