Exposing Movement

Andreea Novac:

Exposing Movement should have had a nearly therapeutic effect on me. My relationship with photography has been, till now, neither pleasant, not comfortable. It was necessary. The photographer was a constant presence around me, but never close to me. When I first looked through the camera lens and made the first photographs, an entirely new way of thinking my body opened up. A different way of directing my attention through the body and of composing it emerged. And this reflected quickly in the gestural language, which I started developing in the vicinity of the camera. This project opened, for me, a new way of questioning the body and the composition of space.
