Karsten II

Description

Born from an experimental creative process, this work was sculpted from a live model in motion. Rather than predetermining the pose, I was inspired by a professional dancer’s improvisation.

Music acted as a catalyst for the climate of trust and complicity, guiding the creation. From the very first note, the dancer’s body incorporates the rhythm and translates the impulse of the music into gestures, tracing in space an intimate and passionate monologue whose vibrant waves I translated into the mass of shapeless clay to capture the power and beauty of ephemeral movements.

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to the dancer Karsten Kroll, who accompanied me in this process with openness as generosity.
