DANCER INSIDE is a cultural and artistic project created in 2008 by the italian architect and photographer Simone Ghera and patronized by the Russian Cultural Insitute. The exhibition shows a new, unique insight of the ballet dancers, strictly linked to the architerctural environment of the city. DANCER INSIDE focuses on getting close to the dancer as “a person”, capturing the hard work at the bar
re, the sweat, the expression of exausted eyes, exploting lines and details during the exercise and the moment of relax. The composition twins with architecture, which leads the dancer to fit in structural and architectural contexts (scales, buildings, abandoned structures, etc..) That represent the elements of contrast and harmony at the same time and fit in a landscape identifier of the place.
