Peeping.....

A summer Festival is now taking place near the sea front close to Tel-Aviv. The concept is funny , humorous,and original. Many choreographers and dancers are participating in that festival.

 

7 cabins with peep shows holes were built ( holes in the fabric), and in each of them dancers are performing. the audience, passeres by, will have to see it through the peeping holes....hard for photography, but I think I have some good results despite the difficulties. Some of them I have created as triptychs and diptychs , to better present the concept...

 

Choreographer: Sally ann Fridland

 

 

Please read explanation, Thanks

He He He... :)))) Not words...

goooooooooooood diptych...

Great ! Now I understand. The event must be a goldmine of possible scenes and compositions.

Thanks Antanas, Elsi, Anders and Amal. I hope it brought a smile to your faces.

 

Anders, Yes I'm still post processing..... you will see some more of them...

 

Amal, I think you are an adult already... ;-))

Pnina you are improving,great work,best regards

I have never seen or heard of peep shows before, sound intriguing & you chosen a original way of presenting.

very good work...congrats

Cherlyn, peep shows are reffering usually to the sex "industry". but in this case it was used as a dance/theater project. Thanks

 

Shuki and Mehmet, thanks both of you.

Very original composition Pnina. I like it.

I think the mix tells the whole story which is nice...I like the body attitude of the dancer left and the dress texture...the guy's looking has a funny position...I imagine how hard it could be to take a single photo that represents the idea as a whole...looking at you image for some time I think that a single image with a face through the hole top left and the dancer could be a potential shot, I am saying that with caution since sometimes it's not possible to get the PoV one would like and probably the light is difficult to get a large enough doF for a single shot with both...

Laurent, thanks, but it is two photos combind, in order to give the viewer the impression of the project, and therefor I combine two or even 3 photos together....

 

anyway your idea will be I think, very hard to implement.... but thanks for offering it, might be for the future.

Ha,ha,great concept!Funny and original shot.

Cheers,Jim

A wonderfully creative combination of photos. I'd almost prefer it without the explanation, which would let my mind wander, and wander it would! However, I understand your wanting to let us know what you are doing and what you've been seeing. The perspective on the dancer is great. It is and intriguing angle. Not only is the subject a dancer, but you've have executed this in a dancelike manner.

Jim, I'm glad it brought a smile to your face!Thanks

 

Fred, Thanks for wandering with your imagination, It was so different from all the dancing photography that I did till now,and I thought that not each of the viewers will undestand the concept.....( and I was right) so I explained it a bit. but each with his imagination and hints will compose his own story....

The last two shots about peeping are great, Pnina. The expression and attitude of the gentleman are unique. Excellent scene, colors and light. Congrats!

awesome! brilliant concept - both for dance/theatre and photography. well done!!!!

Hi pnina, when i was through peeping on you (your portfolio, past comments, etc.) i gravitated to this image and was ready to make an observation, when alas one of the last things i read answered my observation.

"It was so different from all the dancing photography that I did till now". I intended to say that it appears to be a new direction. I must say it has a unique energy . The combining of imagery works well to tell the story. the sum of the parts is indeed greater. I like it very much, conceptually and left unexplained it would still rise to the occasion. very well seen. josh

 

I was wondering how you pulled this off until I read your answering comment to Laurent. Creative souls seem to always find new angles (even if it's through a peephole).

The some of the parts is what was my thoughts as well, as the right way to present the concept and its significance, as a shifting to irony/art from the connotation, peeping will evok in many viewers...

 

Thanks for "peeping" on me/my/work and expressing your point of view so nice and extensively.

David, and Linda, thanks for both your feedback on them.

 

Jack, talking about art and imagination ..;-)) you know what my thoughts are!!

Remarkable juxtaposition, dear Pnina. Gorgeous capture!!! Regards.

Outstanding work! How did I miss this one? This is so funny and clever.
