Black Spider –  “For him dancers are “models” in the artistic sense, bringing with them their own ideas, abilities, physical elasticity, and body performance. In this interplay between strict body discipline, talent, experience, and the physical limits of different dancers, the gentleness of the images is key.That perfect moment of gentle stretching and relaxation is crucial to him, and his images therefore seem like snapshots from another era, one in which “real time” appears suspended, almost set free, and the figures float in a black space as if lost in a nocturnal universe..”
