Photoreographia No.23

This captivating artwork captures the dynamic essence of movement through an abstract depiction of dancers. The fluid forms and swirling colors create a sense of rhythm and energy, drawing the viewer into a world of graceful motion. The dancers seem to emerge from and fade back into the darkness of the background, emphasizing their ethereal nature. The composition primarily employs soft, muted colors—gentle blues, tans, and warm yellows—blending harmoniously against a deep black backdrop. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and contrasts the delicate forms with the solid space behind them, evoking feelings of elegance and tranquility.
This artwork is ideal for spaces that aim to inspire creativity and movement, such as dance studios, yoga studios, or modern living rooms. Placing it above a sofa or in an entryway can amplify its visual impact, serving as a conversation starter and adding a sophisticated touch to the interior. The abstract nature allows it to seamlessly fit into various design styles, including contemporary, minimalist, and even eclectic decor.

This art project, titled Photoreographia, is the realisation of a photographic concept that is based on the act of resolving the contradiction: dance being a movement through time and photography being the imprint of a moment. To make this possible, András Dobi asked several professional choreographers around Germany to choreograph pieces of dance dedicated to this particular occasion. The two most significant differences between choreographing in the traditional stage- orientated method and the way that Photorerographia is done are linearity in time and orientation in space. The choreography for this image was choreographed by István Simon in 2022. The photo shooting took place in Theater Altenburg Gera.
