Merce my way.
Author: Baryshnikov, Mikhail Published: 2008 A collection of more than 80 full colour photographs of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in action, the photographs deliberately blurred to give the impression of movement. Mikhail Baryshnikov writes in his foreword: 'This photography project is my humble attempt to see, measure, and understand the work of one of the greatest choreographers of our time, Merce Cunningham ... going through some old books of dance photography ... I discovered that abandoning the crystalline image in favour of blurred edges approximates the excitement of dance in performance.' |
