The moving body changes its shape by the second, whenever one motion ceases and instantly connects to the flow of another.
The idea behind this exhibition of photographs was to try and frame these instances of transformation through lights and shadows, and dismantle movements and reassemble them from new points of view.
Muscles create powerful silhouettes when strained, while momentary shapes emerge when they are casually relaxed.
Seizing the recurring moments in this chain of actions, and reconnecting the scattered pieces, resulted in images that vividly highlight the energy and potential of the human body. Formation – Variation – Recombination
This very process is what these photographs depict.
