Moving Giacometti - Dance Film

In 2021, I conceived and produced a dance film in the exhibition dedicated to Alberto Giacometti at Moderna Museet in Stockholm for the Swedish National Television SVT, in collaboration with the Fondation Giacometti in Paris. ‘Moving Giacometti’ invites a voguing dancer, Silva Prodigy, and a contemporary ballet dancer, Nathanaël Plantier, to respond to the Giacometti’s sculptures exhibited at Moderna Museet. How to reveal the image and the movement that are not yet visible? What if dance could liberate the model? We invite you to revel in a creative encounter between visual art and dance, between sculptures and moving bodies, but also between two dancers whose styles rarely meet on stage, contemporary ballet and ballroom/voguing. Strikingly visual and sculptural, both styles convey emotions beyond words and concepts, in the same manner as Giacometti’s figures touch us, in their depiction of a silent, yet moving vision of humanity.
