Leap into the Void (1960) by Yves Klein |
29 levels of freedom (2003) by Li Wei |
All these images seem to contain a haunting display of an inbetween space, an unbalanced activity, ambiguous whether the image sways more towards pleasure or pain. The idea of being completely weightless and free. I love artists that play with the movement of the body in mysterious ways. Levitation is one of those strange super powers that people often fantasise about having. On a similar level to flight, being able to simply float above the ground and away seems to be the ultimate contradiction to reality, to any grounding. To magic.
