DOUBLE JEU

Corinna Rosteck presents at Galerie Christian Depardieu fascinating photographic works and videoart, which were created in cooperation with various international dance companies, performances and other creative partners. The artist works with multiple and double exposures. superimpositions capture the seemingly invisible, moments of transition on top of each other, creating incredible transparency and also irritation. Most of the photographic artwork have the character of a painting. Is this a dream? A feathery swirl of long hair. Seemingly melting, transparent fabric surrounds the dancer. Where is the face? The figure blurs in the movement, doubles itself.
Janus Double is the title photograph of the exhibits on display. The black and white, central composition of two dancers captures the duality, contradiction and ambivalence of the Roman god of beginnings and endings in the most precise way. The lines of the two bodies unite like a large “X”, simultaneously trying to break away from each other. Light and shadow tell the story of the lacerating interplay of the current production of Nora Wertheim’s choreography. In the abstraction, the movement is tangible and visible.
Photographic artworks range from Pina Bausch’s piece Rough Cut to modern Japanese Butoh – the exhibition offers an incredible spectrum of dance and movement photography on unique shiny surfaces. 

Accompanying productions by renowned dance companies and solo dancers, Corinna Rosteck develops photo series and video installations that are dedicated exclusively to the creation of my works and are created in collaboration with the performers and other creative partners. The images are projected onto the dancers and staged in the interplay of light, space and music to create a total work of art.

The photo series are realized with a special surface technique developed by me, an oscillating light effect of the metallic reflecting images.
