Pictures on Contemporary Dance by Laurent Ziegler
How can a static medium like photography convey the essence of dance, which is motion? Laurent Ziegler’s dramatic black and white photographs, taken of dance companies in Montreal, Los Angeles, Seattle, Tokyo, Taipeh, and Vienna, do more than merely meet this challenge. They capture moments full of meaning and potential which condense the energy, expression and beauty of movements to its very essence. Moreover, un | still is a search for corners and hidden spaces inside the process of creation and engages the viewer in a dialogue about the message communicated through the performer.
