"Ballet inspires me. Human beings have the capacity to express
themselves through many art forms, but when it comes to dance - and
especially classical modern ballet - I am always amazed by that
unbelievably elevated form of expression. It's so precise and so
incredibly skilled; I admire that enormously." - Photographer and
filmmaker Erwin Olaf "The fact that the photographer is looking
through the camera lens means they have a different perspective
from looking directly at the figure. That is voyeuristic. The
camera can do something that the audience member can't: zooming in
for a close-up." - Choreographer Hans van Manen The grand master of
Dutch dance, Hans van Manen, celebrates his 90th birthday this
year. That has given rise to international celebrations by leading
ballet companies with the Hans van Manen festival from 8 to 29 June
2022, the exclusive publication Dance in Close-Up and the
exhibition of the same name in Galerie Ron Mandos in Amsterdam from
19 June to 17 July 2022. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Hans van
Manen was not only one of the world's leading choreographers, but
also an internationally acclaimed photographer. It was during this
period that the then very young photographer Erwin Olaf met the
famed artist, who immediately took him under his wing and
introduced him to the world of the visual arts and studio
photography. This book celebrates their 40 years of friendship,
with a photo series in which Van Manen directs moments from his
choreographic career, recorded with the utmost precision by Erwin
Olaf. With text contributions from the authors Nina Siegal and
Michael James Gardner.
