Open Skin draws inspiration from a work by Twyla Tharp that I had originally intended to acquire for BTT, in collaboration with the artistic direction at the time. Initially conceived for three women dressed in black leotards and boots, this work serves here as a point of departure for a personal reinterpretation.
The project is grounded in my deep affinity with Tharp’s choreographic research — particularly her seminal work In the Upper Room — which has had a significant impact on both my academic training and artistic development.
Within this framework, Open Skin unfolds as an open and non-prescriptive semantic structure, resisting any fixed narrative. The video is articulated into three sections—sound, encounter, and romanticism—through which shifting intentions and a distinct dramaturgical intelligence emerge. These elements guide the transformation of movement and the evolving relationships between the bodies.
