I capture in this Frieze-Photography the journey of the Brazilian dancer, performer and choreographer Will Lopes. His performance »I WILL« shows his journey as migrant to Austria. FRIEZE seems the adequate media to capture the transformation in Butoh dance.
As he describes himself »To be an immigrant«. The romantic dream about a better life in a new homeland and the reality established by cultural, social and political standards. The deconstruction of pre-established ideal images. Imposition of rules, norms and laws. Assimilation, Transformation and Integration.
Frieze-Photography is a setting I developed over some years, based on self-constructed analog line guided lightmachine, exposed over 4 minutes on moving 120-filmstrip.
