This body, charged with movement and the promise of release, possesses the opalescence of glass, translucent and diaphanous, a new path opening from the observation of the body desired through dance to understand what distinguishes the sculpted from the photographed. Henri Foucault sets his models within a seriality that builds an infinite combinatory of positions, gesture and physical performance tending toward abstraction, complicating the direct reproduction allowed by the Polaroid with colour filters, a floor mirror and doubled models, stylising and tangling the contours of bodies to suggest an illusion of relief.
