COLLABORATION WITH DANCERS XAN BURLEY & ALEX SPRINGER

 

IMPROVISED MOMENTS

Loikas photographed moments of dance, which became two-dimensional compositions, kind of human statues in different environments. The result where a moving dancer becomes still and dissolves into the surroundings, particularly interests him. He is also interested in how environment and architecture influence human senses and behavior. This series was started when Loikas received an artist residency in New York in March of 2013 by the Finnish Art Council and The Dance Centre of Western Finland.
