A flickering dance of intriguing imagery brings to light the possibilities of ordinary movements from the everyday which appear, evolve and freeze before your eyes. Made entirely from archive photographs and footage from the earliest days of moving image, All This Can Happen (2012) follows the footsteps of the protagonist from the short story 'The Walk' by Robert Walser. Juxtapositions, different speeds and split frame techniques convey the walker's state of mind as he encounters a world of hilarity, despair and ceaseless variety.

One of the earliest events to combine dance on film projected in juxtaposition with live performances by the same dancers. The films included rehearsals of the sequences being danced in their final form on stage; portraits of individual dancers, and different interpretations of the same segment of choreography by different dancers intercut with images of them preparing to come on stage. Also included blown-up Polaroid close-up portraits of dancers.
