The Previous Moment constitutes a photo essay about the art of dance. The images revolve around the physical and mental preparation that takes place before the act; the activation of body and mind for a particular performance; thus "the previous moment.”
The dancer, Jasmijn Slui, a young Dutch Bachelor student in Contemporary Dance at Zurich University of the Arts, is both at the beginning of her career and her adult life. In this photographs we can appreciate the reality of that moment in a metaphorical sense as well: the ambition for perfection and the desire of a young student to grow up into her professional and personal self.
This series constitutes the first epiesode of a larger visual story.
