Taiat Dansa

Taiat Dansa’s Man Ray focuses on the photographer’s fetishistic relationship with his muses, and, therefore, on all relationships between male artists and their female models. Sometimes they inspire, at others they are simply objects.

The relationships are extreme, especially those between the Surrealist artists, with a certain degree of manipulation of women’s images and bodies and their sexuality throughout the history of art. In this piece Man Ray is multiplied; all his identities appear obsessively and reflect a structure of reality as dictated by men. By their rules, their cameras. By their photographic eyes.

When Breton declared that “art will be convulsive, or it will not be at all,” he never imagined that, of all the shocking aspects of the Surrealist discourse, the most shocking would be the “click” of Man Ray’s camera.

Impulsiveness, passion, thoroughness and rebellion are concepts inseparable from the way that Taiat Dansa work, the union of the talent of dancers and choreographers Meritxell Barberá and Inma García. They formed their own company in 2003 in Valencia and since then they have been presenting their work in theatres and at festivals in Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and the USA, and working as choreographers for other companies and artists. Since 2011 both of them have been jointly directing the 10 Sentidos Festival in Valencia.
