“Premuš has revealed this elusive drive of the body. Through the photographic part of the exhibition, the renowned dancers, who have proven themselves as excellent ballerinas, actresses, choreographers and performers, exposed the intangible, the invisible – images of the body that escape us in the drive for life. The focus body parts open up the side of the manipulations of the gaze, the recesses that remind us of another, less human, landscape. The details of the body, the sound of the performance without the body, the juxtaposition of the pirouettes from Swan Lake in the video with the stuffed bear are tangible and visible manoeuvres of the presentation of the body and time, mortality and immortality.”

“The gallery space offered an ideal place for the choreographic work with the dancers, who built an artwork that merges two quite barely compatible dancing practices – ballet and contemporary approaches to body and movement. The outcome of this experimental phase was not only the research result but a multimedia gallery presentation created by several ambitious artists from different fields, who managed to combine several other media with the idea of a dancing performance – the installation, video, photography and experimental music. The exhibition remained open for a few days. The presented approach had very positive feedback from our gallery visitors while giving a new perspective on experiencing contemporary dance practices.”
