MAARTEN VANDEN ABEELE & TANZTHEATER WUPPERTAL OF PINA BAUSCH







MAARTEN VANDEN ABEELE IS A BELGIAN PHOTOGRAPHER THAT HAS WORKED WITH PINA BAUSCH & TANZTHEATER WUPPERTAL FOR ALMOST 2 DECADES. THERE IS QUITE A NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHERS THAT DID WORK WITH PINA BUT WE FEEL THAT MAARTEN'S WORK IS EXCEPTIONAL BECAUSE HIS IMAGES GO FAR BEYOND BEING ILLUSTRATORY OF A DANCE THAT ALREADY EXISTS. HE MANAGES TO FIND DIFFERENT ANGLES TO SEE CHOREOGRAPHY THAN THE CLICHE DANCE PHOTOGRAPHY, HE CONCENTRATE NOT ONLY ON THE SUPERFICIAL MOVEMENT BUT ALSO ON EMOTION, RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHARACTERS & THEIR STORY, TEXTURES OF THE SKIN & FABRIC, SCRATCHES ON THE STAGE, EMPTINESS & LIGHT.
