Dance #4
1979, printed 1981

A black and white photograph featuring two figures against a dark background. On the left, a person is seen from behind, walking away on a tiled platform. On the right, another figure is seated facing forward, with a strikingly pale complexion and dark eye makeup, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding darkness. The image has a border, suggesting it is a print.
