In Violin Fase, Eric Pauwels twirls the camera around the body of dancer and choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. Through this process, Pauwels creates a new relationship between camera and dancer, but also between body and dance, dance and cinema. Consisting of a geometrical and minimalist choreographic structure filmed in four uninterrupted takes, the artist’s camera captures a woman dedicated to exploring the boundaries of physical exhaustion.

Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker is my favourite choreographer!
Thank you very much for this! We haven’t gotten to see much of Keersmaeker’s work here in the States and this is an important piece.
