“Thin draperies, pressed and clinging to the limbs of the figures by the action of the wind.”

Leonardo da Vinci, "The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci", translated by Jean Paul Richter, 1888

Dancers in long chiffon, photographed on concrete rooftops, on a striped promenade under a tall ribbed white wall, and once mid-leap over hillside scrub. Red, magenta and white, thrown into the wind and caught at full stretch. Some frames are silhouettes cut against a low sun, others sit in flat hazy daylight. None of it happened on its own.
