Slow Dancing – Photographer David Michalek’s series of 43 larger-than-life, hyper-slow-motion video portraits of dancers and choreographers from around the world. Displayed on multiple giant screens, each subject’s five-second movement unfolds gesture by barely perceptible gesture into 10 minutes of extreme slow motion, enabling the viewer to share in the simplest of movements. Of its acclaimed installation at Lincoln Center, The New York Times wrote: “At this scale and speed, everything the dancer does has an air of the miraculous.” Co-commissioned by Luminato, the LA Music Centre and Sadler’s Wells, London. Location TBA.
