Presented publicly for the first time, this collection of powerful black-and-white images taken in 1998 captures the intricate relationship between dance, movement, and perception. Lock’s photographs push the idealized aesthetic of ballet to the extreme, blurring the lines between clarity and ambiguity. Inviting viewers to engage with the dancer's form as an object of subjective interpretation, Lock reveals his unique perspective on dance and photography, and challenges viewers to embrace the mystery inherent in the moving body.
