The "Ballet Star" Collection: a striking contrast between elegance and the crisp, cool lines of the city 🩰
A few interesting historical facts:
• Dane Sh*tagi’s *Ballerina Project*
This is arguably the largest and most renowned project featuring ballerinas in an urban setting. Its creator, New York-based photographer Dane Sh*tagi, began photographing ballerinas back in 1994 at a waterfall in Hawaii. Later, after moving to the city, he adapted the concept to an urban context, creating a contrast between graceful figures and the "concrete jungle."
• Another notable artist is photographer Omar Robles. His project *Dancers on the Streets of New York* grew out of a passion for pantomime; as a student of Marcel Marceau, he learned to convey stories through movement. He placed dancers within industrial landscapes, creating a dramatic effect.
