This dual-projection video installation features young people from Ramallah in Palestine dancing to a succession of Western pop songs. The videos were each shot with a static camera in a single take lasting seven hours. There are no breaks in the performance, despite power cuts, calls to prayer, and dancers occasionally resting on the floor. The title refers to the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don’t They, which features a dance marathon set during the US Great Depression. In the film, the phrase suggests pity for the contestants enduring the lengthy competition. Collins relates the phrase to the young Palestinian performers living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and their resilience in the face of a continuing conflict.
