Thin Skin
Eliška Brtnická
Award
First prize in Czech Theatre Photography 2023
For sovereignly capturing the fragility and balance and evocation of the artistic light design of the production.
Thin Skin is a meditative work of movement installation. The world as a graphic model, a landscape of lines. Metal rods intertwine in space with the bodies of the performers, who sensitively receive the physical responses of the material - their partner. Moving sculptures appear and disappear. Their archetypal skeletons can be wrapped in meanings or just be left to flow. The body imprints itself in the material, the image in the mind, time bends. This "intuitive physics" demonstrates the most basic principles of being in the earth's gravitational field.
