Run Beyond by Angelo Bonello at Lumiere Festival in Durham (Milburngate Riverside)
A large-scale light sculpture composed of a sequence of illuminated silhouettes animated through controlled LED lighting to simulate perpetual motion.
Jump for freedom. What is the world record long jump? Run Beyond, created by Angelo Bonello, provokes that question, because the jump the man in this work takes, seems impossibly far. The keyword here is ‘seems’, because, according to Bonello, nothing is impossible if only you want it badly enough. Run Beyond is a work about the jump we all have to take in our lives: the jump to freedom. Bonello does not tell us what kind of freedom, the spectator has to make up their own mind about that. Running represents liberation, the most immediate and impulsive gesture of a human being, who runs both to escape the danger and to reach what attracts them. Represented as a continuous cycle; running starts, stops and then starts again. In each person’s life running is a liberating action which drives us to overcome our fears and constraints. It opens us up to the strength of our imagination, to other cultures, new friendships and unknown horizons.
