LIGHT & PHOTOGRAPHY RESEARCH
MOVEMENT CRYSTALLIZATION

This photo-choreographic laboratory is perceived and lived as an ancestral ritual.

Manu Di Martino with the help of Fabrice Offredi, both scientists by training, develops a project that mixes hip-hop dance and photography, all tinged with science. This interdisciplinary project tends to place movement at the center of the different parts of the process: the photographic subject, the camera, the focal length itself and finally the organization of the resulting shots into a new composition. In this, the movement is first decomposed, transmitted to the different elements, to be recomposed in the final work. Artifacts, optical accidents, direct or indirect light painting by reflecting surfaces which are themselves imperfect, everything is done to mislead the spectator as well as the creators and thus to arouse in them a new questioning on the status of the objects, of the photographic process, of the dance, of the painting or of the more general movement.

RITUALOGRAPHY is a series of the project D-COMPO 1.0
