Harley Weir’s captivating images of Marseille’s ballet dancers ❤️ See the series here:
Invited as an artist associate by Horde Ballet national de Marseille to document the legacy of the ballet,soon became a full-scale archaeological excavation of a dormant treasure, which later birthed a book. Pis a restitution of the 50-year-old dance institution’s archives – a collection of pictures, ephemera, relics, mementos, mixing happily with fashion editorials and flashbacks references, though stage costume remains the main thread.
Roland Petit, an enfant terrible of the dance world, who founded the Ballet National de Marseille in 1972, was notorious for his avant-gardist artistic approach and unusual collaborations with artists from all disciplines, notably Pink Floyd. Some of the most iconic designers created clothes for the ballet costumes, in turn connecting the dots between fashion and performing arts.“The first day I showed up to work, there was nothing! No trace of the past.
The then-impossible mission unfolded organically and took another dimension. Surrounded by a team of creatives and students from the Duperré School, Gavin compiled the newly found vestiges of the institution, and “archived the archives”. “I designed the visual identity of the BNM under my studio Alice Gavin Services, developing a library of photographic images, typography and vidéos,” she says.
Dance is such a huge force within art, the way it moves you in real-time. I jump at any chance to work with dancers.”and trusted me. From the start there was no specific order – the only guideline was to make the ballet shine.”Photography by Harley Weir, Creative Direction by Alice Gavin, Styling by
