Dance art meets photo art: Performances of Butoh and contemporary dance

Claude Hofer's publication is the first book of its kind to explore and document the internationally renowned dance genres of Japanese Butoh and contemporary dance. Over the course of ten years, the Swiss photographer traveled to countries around the globe and met more than one hundred mostly artists in both dance genres who performed specifically for his camera. The focus of his intense black-and-white photographs is unmistakably on the people themselves. With an impressive sense of the right moment, Hofer has captured the dancers in highly emotional photographs that reveal a unique and profound connection between body and mind.
