Moora Fine Arts Society
Location: Moora, Western Australia

Melbourne artists, Sonia Leber & David Chesworth, immersed themselves in the community of Moora to observe in close proximity the rhythms and intensities of the mass-movement of sheep and cattle across the landscape.

The resulting two-channel video installation, The Way You Move Me, captures the internal dynamics of various local herds through periods of intensification and slowness; sometimes highly chaotic and unpredictable, other times surprisingly ordered. Accompanied by a detailed, almost wordless sound design, this highly visceral work highlights both the seen and unseen forces that exist between humans and animals, meditatively framing the more personal moments of interspecies connection.
