The photographer and artist Daniela Wolf studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts (ABK) Stuttgart. She has been engaged in photography in the independent dance and theatre scene for many years. She developed a close artistic collaboration with the dancer and choreographer Juliette Villemin, who had a lasting influence on her understanding of contemporary dance.

Her photographs of Juliette Villemin’s dance piece Die Begehrenden (‘Desiring’) show two dancers and an actor surrounded by heaps of clothing, in which order falls apart and is re-formed again and again. Clothing becomes an open material space and space to play, where identities and relationships emerge, change and disappear again. Wolf’s photographs compress these fleeting movements into moments in which chaos as a productive state becomes visible.

Freeze describes the moment when movement becomes form – a point of intersection between dance, photography and sculpture. In light of Juliette Villemin’s unexpected death, the term also takes on a melancholy and commemorative dimension.
