Abstract
This photo essay documents the research and production of the performance Zebra, while avoiding a strict replication of the performance. This photo collection is an independent artwork, reflecting on the potential for image-based work to simultaneously represent encounters in performance and artistic research. The essay operates in the choreographic style of the performance, suggesting a connection between visual patterns and the selection of a lineage of events. The repetition, replication, and representation of a sunset is key, as it uses the photographic medium to connect the fleeting aspect of the performance with the occurrence of a sunset. The Zebra’s appearance is mediated through digital technology, a metaphor for choreographic camouflage.
