Rainbow Serpentine

The title (Rainbow Serpentine) refers to the first “screendance” pieces made by the Frères Lumière with Louïe Fuller’s Dance Serpentine, that were hand painted directly on film to create the color variations that were the mark of the dancer. Here the coloring is made with different layers in post-production, as an inspiration and an hommage to this early works. The image of the dancer is superposed to create two moving bodies that intersect and move apart, creating different color combinations.
