Photo Observation #2

  1. Netherlands Dance Theater from a piece called “Figures of Extinction” – 2023
  2. Cold
  3. This photo is a still from a work called “Figures of Extinction by Nederlands Dans Theater. This picture is very cold to me because there is something unnerving about the energy with just the hands illuminated. It feels like the hands are coming out of darkness searching for something but they are met by a harsh white light. You can just barely make out the faces of the dancers but that is not the focus of the image. The limbs feel detached and to me appear like the branches of a dead tree or a tree without leaves in the wintertime. This image feels cold due to the harsh lighting and physical detachment portrayed.
