Nuances: Alwin Maigler (inbunden, eng)

In ballet, elegant aesthetics and grace meet the limits of the human body’s capabilities. Elegance and rigor, discipline and passion — where extremes meet, they begin to inspire us. Photographer Alwin Maigler (b. 1996) has been working closely with the internationally renowned Stuttgart Ballet for many years, and the double publication Nuances and Nocturne (ISBN 9783735609939) is his personal declaration of love for classical dance.
Nuances is Maigler’s first photographic work on the subject of ballet; it is a sensitive study of the body and movement, focusing on the exploration of those fleeting spaces that are hidden in such movementThe contrast between the fluidity of dance and photographic fixation reveals ballet’s aesthetic depth of field with a precision that all too often remains hidden.
