small pieces

Silver gelatin photograph from the series ‘Nijinsky and the Ecstasy of the Divine’, a collaboration with dancer Aleix Martinez in 2014 (Hamburg Germany). A medium format camera was used with silver gelatin negative film.
For me it symbolises so many things about Nijinsky – his search for the divine, the way his dance propelled ballet into an entirely new future, his absolute, no-holds-barred commitment within the dance itself and of course as an ode to his famous leaps. His ability to ‘leap and pause’. 
It is said that Nijinsky had such control over his physiology that when he leapt into the air he could control the way he landed, whether he floated dow light as a feather or plummeted down hard. His choice was always about the character he was playing and his intention. Asked once how he seemed able to hang in the air when jumping, he apparently said "Not difficult. You have just to go up and then pause a little up there."
Fun fact: our choice of venue for this photograph was one of the old Hamburg Port Buildings - on the other side of doors where you see the light streaming is a 3 story drop into the water with only a small rope between Aleix and the water! 
Another thing... I really love the 'bird' on the ceiling also heading toward the light - I can't recall if I noticed that at the time but it is one of the small details I love about this photograph.
