People: Honorable Mention 2016 (amateur)
Life on Pointes by Hermann Einbinder (Ukraine)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Life is a motion. The camera easily catches the moments from the unstoppable flow of life. Camera split a second and allow us to see the transiency of the true motion. “Beautiful moment, do not pass away!” – exclaimed Goethe. And time stood still in pictures. Ballet is an elusive lightness of beautiful movements. It seems that dancers grasp the secret of velocity when they freeze in their flight. Brilliant Degas was able to catch these moments of sparkling stream, and they remained on the canvas forever. 99 years ago, mankind lost this amazing artist. Reminiscent of Degas' paintings inspired this project- Life on Pointes!
