Dance #1
1979, printed 1981

A photograph capturing a blurred motion of dancers in a dark setting, creating a ghostly and ethereal effect. There are multiple figures visible, suggesting movement and dance, with a lighter exposure in the center where two dancers seem to be in contact. The image is bordered by a white frame with handwritten inscriptions at the bottom.
