GLOW
Described as “A dancer writes a diary entry.”, this experimental dance piece by Jonah Haber features dancer Niamh Wilson shot against a phosphorescent (glow in the dark) wall. As the dancer moves through the space, a strobe periodically fires, freezing her position in shadow against the surface behind her. Observe: GLOW from Jonah Haber on Vimeo. I’m a huge fan of dance, and – as you know – light, and this is a delightful and unexpected usage of light in the art of dance. I wonder how possible it would be to create a reactive phosphorescent softgoods backdrop and use this concept elsewhere.
