Variation on the represented
The 24th Collective is a project led by photographer András Dobi and choreographer Gustavo Gomes. The duo aim to create a performance format where photography and performance dialogue. This exchange between visual arts and performance create a series of works that shows the body transforming while eternalising it by the pictures.
For the book performance Variation on the represented, the duo created a performance format where the audience is handed photo triggers where they can take photos of the dancers during the entire performance. This staged transformation was later on published as a book. The experience of the performers, the choreographic scores and rehearsal photos are also included in the book as traces of the process, validating it as not only part of the process, but the work itself.
