Free Fall 

Motionless photos - artificially constructed emotional state, 
puzzles and labyrinths - Art and artificiality. Two words with 
the same root, but totally opposite in their meaning. Why this 
installation? 

It is my way of dealing with the tension between reality and 
imagination. And it is my attempt to stop the time for a fraction 
of a second, and take time to look at it quietly... Performing 
artists are trained to reproduce such an emotional state in an 
instant. 
A photographic image is a guillotine, separating us from the past 
and the future, and at the same time bringing both back together 
in the moment of exposure. The result is "frozen choreography". 
These images of this motionless theatre will survive the performer 
for many years to come....
Sabine is photographed simultaneously from the front and from 
the back. Torn apart by what was and what will be, in all its 
irrational forms. 

I made these images because I am fascinated by Sabine's gift 
to change with the years, and by her ability to express her 
ever changing emotional world. Her ability to make a "truthful 
reproduction of emotions". It is another step in our creative 
relationship... Another step of holding on, and letting go...
