The Epitome of an Oxymoronic Endeavour: Collaborative performative photography between still and movement artists.
An Oxymoronic Endeavour is a collaboration combining two oxymoronic (apparently contradictory) art forms where one artist is also the subject. The choreography and performance occurred only for creating the images and exist only in the resulting ‘performative’ photographic work. The work explores the binary of being creator and performer and the liminal space in between. It breaks with the conventional relationship of photography to dance.
Celia Walmsley is a fine art photographer working primarily with dance artists. Exploring ‘performative’ photography (performance made for camera), collaboration, agency and expanded authorship her latest work is a collaboration with dancer/choreographer Jessie McCall. Celia is completing an MFA (Master of Fine Arts).
