Oil

Jan Fabre created the performance 'Quando l'uomo principale e una donna' danced by Lisbeth Gruwez. The same year I saw a picture taken by Marc Lagrange, one of the Belgian photographers I really admire for his work with large format camera's and the way he uses movies for his inspiration.

'What if I make a setup in Studio and play around with oil' went through my mind for months.

I quickly found a dancer and model. Joke was courages enough to work on the first try. The result was right what I was looking for. It asked for more and so I did.

Olive oil is fantastic to work with. The texture, the feel, the light reflexions even the warmth come across the image making. Surely something I will do more in the future
