Imperfect Portraits of Male Dancers

New York City-based photographer Nir Arieli began his career working for the Israeli magazine Bamachane as a military photographer. Later he received a scholarship and received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. Arieli’s newest project, “Inframen,” features male dancers like his previous projects, “Tension” and “Force,” however these portraits are black-and-white, and photographed with a special infrared technique to reveal “flaws” in the subject’s skin.

From opposite sides of the stage, Whelan and Brooks approached each other for the first duet, meeting in the center. They faced front and walked slowly and meticulously downstage, articulating through each bone and muscle of the foot. While staying with this idea of walking, the tempo increased and the choreography accumulated, swinging limbs, directional patterning and luxurious pliés layering in. The pair covered space with serpentine abandon; the energy, a forward trajectory of development and change. With its pulsing current, Jacob Cooper’s Arches score, interpreted by cellist Michael Nicolas, was an equal contributor to a potent scene.
