From September to October, 2020
Working at the Paris Opéra for two ballet seasons from 2013 to 2015, Pibrac mingled with the dancers and shared in their theatre life to create his three-part In Situ series, an intimate photo-document of their every move and pose. As the “in place” title suggests, Pibrac shows us the way things really between dancers are backstage, a Confidences comprises behind-the-scenes images taken during rehearsals using a silent camera with a special lens, which allowed him to shoot so close that his subjects fairly breathe with emotion. Whereas Catharsis synthesizes abstractions of their movements, and Analogia presents the full grandeur of performances on the Palais Garnier stage.
