US-based art collective the OpenEnded Group takes on the spectacular French street art of parkour in its latest exhibition. The sport has been practised across the Channel for some years, but it took documentary Jump London, which featured Sébastien Foucan and fellow traceurs launching themselves from rooftops around the capital (the '60s architecture of Southbank proves a particularly rich platform), and a notorious BBC ad to bring it to the UK's attention. Created in conjunction with free-running group Urban Freeflow, Point A > B is a video installation depicting two freerunners, Blue (aka Paul Joseph) and Exo (aka Exousia Pierce), recorded on both hand-held and still HD cameras to give the sport a new perspective.
