Author Description

"Paul Robbrecht has composed an image essay in 'Choreo' in which architecture, dance and text interact. A book as choreography, and also as a chorus dance. People who move, dance along geometrical patterns have always fascinated him: "The dance has flown in me." The charged emptiness of a space only comes alive through a dancing body. Architecture does not exist if it is not experienced. Central in 'Choreo' is the circular text of Wim Cuyvers, in which a young dealer creates invisible patterns on a square, which subsequently form a pentagram. Around this text, images and designs are placed, which bring in noticeable circles. Between intro and coda with photos by Maarten Vanden Abeele are sketches for a dance theater that originated from a conversation and fascination for the dancer and choreographer, the Louie number series, the 9-color rose and so on. Two paintings from the Renaissance form rest breaks and show Robbrecht's fascination with perspective and inspired forms. Architecture and dance long for each other."--DW B archived website
