"Dance and a slow stream?: "Rurubu" - a joint project Nobuhiro Sato and Haley Friesen
"Dance and slow flow":
"Rurubu" - a joint project Nobuhiro Sato and Haley Friesen
"Rurubu" (which literally translates from Japanese as "dance and slow flow") - a joint project of the Canadian photographer Hayley Friesen (Haley Friesen) and master of calligraphy from San Francisco Nobuhiro Sato (Nobuhiro Sato). Body, imprinted at the time of the harmonious dance, infused with energetic strokes master Sato, who seemed to enhance the visual effect of motion.
Rurubu (meaning "to dance and flow slowly" in Japanese) is a collaborative project by Toronto-based photographer Haley Friesen and San Francisco-based calligraphy artist Nobuhiro Sato that explores the powerful expressions of body movement coupled with energetic strokes of ink. The multiple mediums applied to this project complement each other, heightening the dynamic, visual effect of motion.
First, ballet dancers Kathleen Legassick and Meaghan Silva served as models for the series, elegantly expressing emotions through the art of dance, which Friesen caught on her digital camera. The images were then printed on watercolor paper and shipped to Sato, who proceeded to paint Japanese calligraphy over them with Sumi ink.
Friesen says, "I've always considered Japanese characters to have a strong resemblance to dancers and motion. There's something about the sweeping gestures and graceful twists that make the slashes and splatters of hiragana and katana ink characters appear as a choreographed dance to my eyes . I'm sure this concept is much more effective -or perhaps just effective in a different manner- to those who are illiterate in Japanese. "
In the role models for this unusual series of photographs made by dancers and Megan Kathleen Legassik Silva. When Friesen and Sato conceived the project, they set a goal - to express emotions through the art of dance.
"I think that this project will be very interesting. In particular, I believe it will have a strong visual impact on those who do not speak Japanese, - says one of the authors of the project "Rurubu" Haley Friesen.
The action was caught on camera Friesen, then the images were printed on special watercolor paper and handed Sato, who masterfully dealt characters over the image. "I always thought that Japanese characters have a strong resemblance with the dancers. All these sweeping gestures and graceful curves .. - recognized Friesen.
As ballet and calligraphy skills are certainly worth and rare beauty of the arts. However, the terrific tandem, which was created by the authors of the project outputs, these two kinds of art to a new level - there is a birth of a new genre.
