OBSESSED WITH LIGHT
What do Taylor Swift, Bill T. Jones, Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin all have in common? They were each influenced by Loïe Fuller – visionary performer and American dance pioneer who revolutionized the visual culture of the early 20th century. Fuller created a completely new kind of spectacle which combined dance, fabric and movement and merged cutting-edge technology with her art.
Obsessed with Light is a meditation on light and the enduring obsession to create. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller's work still has on contemporary artists.
