In order to bear witness of her absolute love of classical dancing, Isabelle Bertrand wished to devote a book, born from a fascinating collaboration with Giorgio Fourés, dancer at the Paris Opera. From Ostend to Paris and from Paris to Vienna, the photographer wishes to associate the reader of the book to a fiction, during a photographic trip where the dancer unfolds in space, like flapping wings that open page after page.

It deals with inspiration and expiration, rhythm and pace, alternating as many contrasted places where the fragile and short lived nature of the danced movement confronts brutal or very structured architectures like the scenic decorations of a fresco in perpetual movement.

From this confrontation is born a poetical emotion that lets you see it among a sensitive and spontaneous universe full of surprises under the title of Voyage d’un danseur.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
