Description

Grunwalsky tries to see if photographs can capture the spatial dimensions of the body in a similar way as a sculpture. While the female nudes of the Danaides can be understood as illustrations following the traditional technical compositions of photography, the works in Body-Space communicate the powerful spatial organisation of the human body.

On Grunwalsky's pictures Andrea Ladányi performs her series of movements in a deliberately simple background setting. In this way, the dancer does not portray a separate story. She herself - the uncovered, but not naked, body - creates the Here and the Now.
