tanzhouse_festival is an event organized by tanz_house an association of freelance choreographers based in Salzburg. In the autumn 2022 for the tanzhouse_festival 22 I had an opportunity to not only perform solo NaYmA but also to look at dance through the lens and together with Ulrich Gruchmann-Bernau create a collection of black and white portraits. Together we had an exhibition in ARGEkultur Salzburg titled darkroom.

Darkroom is a series of black&white photographs intended to portray artists in the most natural way possible when no one realizes or sees that they occur in the lens. As if we were observers of reality, wanting to capture that decisive moment in the frame. Then people can't hide anything – the body language yells, emotions on their faces are not faked.

Below you will find selection of a few pictures took in that time.
