Synthesis: some beautiful images of interactive living and static bodies…

When we dwell in an era of swelling anxiety…

…the euphoria of losing ourselves in movement – of whatever kind – is one of the few resistances to capitalism we have left at our disposal.

Pattern, Rhythm, Motif – They All Grow Out of Nature, and Out of Human Nature

Interdependence

The canvas is of little interest without paint,

just as paint is only suffocated pigment without a canvas to set it free.

The city needs the flux of human movement for itself, selfishly, but the human too needs a structured surface as pillar and backdrop for the exertion of beauty.

But what if we were to let go of the cubicle,

to step outside the canvas frame,

and dance in free space, en plein air, infinitely?

 

 

Excerpts from the film Pina, 2011.

What messages are written with these bodies, and for whom?

It’s spine-chilling, how ephemeral the matter of dance is.

Thinner than air.
