Dancer Sabrina Brazzo and Andrea Volpintesta - Morotti Flor Greenhouse

Green Attitude
Project and Photographs by Raoul Iacometti
Gestures and control postures of a dancer are used to read the harmony of the body and the extraordinary ability to transform the physical effort until it becomes beauty. Admired by all this, we focus on the tensions of the body without imagining that his movements can be inscribed in a broader frame of reference as they were part of an order that all of nature is a participant.
Raoul Iacometti has had the wonderful insight that all this is possible thus beginning a job that went to discover the harmony that binds the human gestures of dance to the reality that flowers and plants suggest. The structure diptychs allows you to easily recognize similarities truly amazing: on the one hand it seems that the leaves are lance-shaped to suggest the dancer posture of her legs, the other one can imagine that human nature and the living of a vegetable identical participation and vibrate in the same tune. Or maybe it's the photographer to have acted as a careful director of this brand new show.
All pictures of the project have been taken in different greenhouses and with different professional dancers. (Roberto Mutti)
