Jessica Angel: Here and Beyond

A triptych of bold and evocative images by London-based photographer, Jessica Angel, taken during rehearsals for Open Heart Productions/Arthur Pita’s God’s Garden, which was presented at Laban Theatre during our Autumn Season last year.

The images capture a sense of the dancers as links between that which is earth-bound and the world ‘beyond’; a world evoked throughout God’s Garden.

Jessica Angel specialises in photographing movement, which, by its very nature, is transient. The question she asks is ‘how can I recreate the transient nature of dance and make it enduring’. Her work explores this relationship – the passage and transformation of form to represent the sensation of the dance. It brings together, investigates and continually modifies the encounter between space, time and physicality.
