I love the creepy and genuinely surrealistic quality of this video installation, part of a continuous loop extracted from a Busby Berkeley dance sequence in 42nd Street, recently on display in the lobby of New Zealand's Christchurch Art Gallery.
When I filmed this a few weeks ago - apologies for the crap framing - I didn't make a note of the names of the installation and the artist, assuming they would be on the gallery's website. They're not, sadly - not that I can find. If anyone can identify them I'd be grateful.
(Before you ask, the gallery allows photography and does not appear to outlaw video filming, though if the copyright owner has any problems with this posting I'll remove it.)

HI Lynden, the work is titled 'Tunnel of Love' by Judy Darragh.
Thanks Anon. Are you sure of those details, especially the spelling? Type 'Tunnel of Love' and 'Judy Darragh' into Google and precisely zero responses come up. Which is extremely unlikely, if the details you supplied are correct.
100% correct Lynden, I asked the curator on your behalf. The work is relatively recent and may not have been shown anywhere else. It should appear on the Chch Art Gallery website but hasn't so I'll follow up with them about that.
