Classic Dance

Classic dance is a stop motion video that juxtapose a classic 90’s dance music track and a succession of pictures of classical statues, simulating a choreographic television ballet. The function, as well as the original sacral and rhetorical aura, is lost, and through the movement the statues are being rendered in a fun and ironic way. The sampling of statues ranges between ancient and modern classicism: mythological figures, ancient divinities, olympic athletes, caryatids, noblewomen, renaissance putti and nineteenth-century characters chosen only for their posture or position as a function of this choreographic ballet that celebrates (or criticizes) the emptiness of our time.
