Exhibition – Love Can Dance

Statement for the series LOVE CAN DANCE by Quang Lam – A photobook has been also printed for this exhibition.

A visual art using the body to express emotions, such is the subject of dance.

Tender love, carnal love, dreamed love are made visible. Intimate gestures are exposed with coded forms which mesmerize the audience, awed by the drama of passion.

The eye of the camera lens reveals this audacity at the closest perspective.

In the chiaroscuro of the stage, the snapshot paradoxically emphasizes the inner power of the body’s movement.

In the red opera of Saigon “beauty will be convulsive or will not be”.

Citation from André Breton – L’amour fou, 1937
