This two part avant-garde short film was created to extend the narrative of Jo Cope's Turning Point sculptural shoe artwork. The film explores the feet and shoe as symbolic directors of destiny as well as moral and symbolic guides through life. This film represents a speculative future inspired by the real life experience of the artist, where the hidden potential of shoes are unlocked to reveal their transformative healing powers and ability to enable real life turning points.

The Film acts as an extension of the shoes which turn on rotating platforms, forming together a multi-dimensional installation and audience experience.

First exhibited as part of Jo Cope's solo exhibition 'The Wisdom Is in Your Feet' at The Hub, Sleaford in 2023.

*Full film can be available for curators to view upon request.
