Move and Sudden #4

curated by Black Blocs

"Movement" and "Occurrence" are two significant techniques in photography that, when combined with creative thinking, can produce novel, awe-inspiring, and unexpected visual spaces. The present collection is a free interpretation of a ritualistic ceremony practiced by mystics and Sufis. In this ceremony, the "Sama dance," beyond its devotional and spiritual significance for the dancer, encompasses a multitude of movements and rotations that, when isolated, give rise to distinct visual movements and occurrences.
