More on the project
Dance Community Picture Mexico City is a part of the Community Picture
Series, a project by Sarma in the framework of B-Chronicles, after a
concept of Myriam Van Imschoot. By way of an open invitation addressed to
'everyone who feels part of the dance community' people are welcomed to
come to a collective one time photo shoot that will represent the dance
community on that day. The project challenges the desire to portray
something which in fact eludes the genre of portrayal. It embraces this
paradox as a tool to investigate how the notion of 'community' operates and
manifests itself in a specific context by way of people's reactions to the
invitation. The Mexico edition was the fourth in line, after previous
photoshoots in Cairo, Berlin and New York.
