Gymnasts will set off a giant Mexican wave of cartwheels as part of an art installation to celebrate the Olympic Games.

The Kingston Big Wheel was created by Charlie Murphy who has previously drawn inspiration for her choreography from dentistry, kissing, trout tickling, aerial dance and country dancing.

Tolworth, Avondale and Genesis Gymnastics clubs will be participating in the performance at the Stanley Picker Gallery, which also marks the final weekend of the International Youth Arts Festival 2012.

References to Kingston’s own pioneer of stop-motion photography Eadweard Muybridge will be included in the choreography.

The performance will be backed by original music from composer Jorge Queijo.

Murphy graduated in fine art at the Royal College of Art in 1999 and her work takes in photography, video, performance and sculpture.

She has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally, including presentations for Tate Modern and Edinburgh Festival.

The Big Wheel is supported by Kingston University, which will be showcasing a new video installation at Kingston Museum to accompany the exhibition from July 28 to October 20.

The video draws on the history of the moving image and celebrates the rhythms, structures and stroboscopic qualities of the choreography through theatrical lighting and sound.
