The commission was for artistic renderings rather than conventional documentation: images that could function as visual extensions of the work itself. The approach was to find the same qualities Teshigawara pursues in the studio: precision, breath, the moment where a body becomes an object and then becomes a body again.
These images were made during residency and production periods with the company in Gothenburg, working alongside the creative process.
Tranquil is a piece by Japanese choreographer and visual artist Saburo Teshigawara, created for Gothenburg Opera Dance Company. Teshigawara's work sits between dance, sculpture, and visual art. His choreography is inseparable from its visual logic, from the way light falls, from the texture of a body held at a particular angle.
