Ballett Stuttgart

Dancers of Ballett Stuttgart become bodies of distance, vulnerability and controlled proximity inside transparent PVC spheres.

The series translates the pandemic situation of social distance into a precise photographic setup. The body remains visible, yet spatially separated; proximity becomes a choreographed boundary.

In the collaboration with Ballett Stuttgart, performative control, bodily discipline and the fragile isolation of the protective sphere meet.
