MURIEL
Influenced by the work of Muybridge and Jean Etienne Marey, these photographs are the result of an afternoon’s collaboration between myself and Muriel Maffre, former principal dancer with SF Ballet in 2011. The spontaneous sequential exposures were combined to record a trajectory of dance movements.
I combined some of these sequences with images I had taken at other locations to create visual narrative fictions. I am particularly interested in the medium’s ability to freeze time and capture myriad spatial viewpoints, walking that thin line that separates still photography from cinema.
