"Relay" is based on a performance where the makers invited eight participants ? individuals and not-for-profit organisations ? to highlight a cause by running a lap of honour at a sports stadium in Finland. The participants were paired. Whilst one of them ran, the other one discussed the topics central to the running group. "Relay" shows the two actions simultaneously in split screen and references the conventions of sports coverage. The name refers both to the sharing of information and to the sport event that acted as the framework.
