Jordan Matter has recently done a new project consisting of dance in every day life. These are only a few from his selection, but these were the ones that caught my attention the most. This idea shows beauty and reality. Dance can be seen anywhere, even in the strangest of places. My favorite out of the six that I have provided has to be the last one, with the young girl and her shopping bags. This would have to be my favorite one because I can oddly relate. I am in no means a dancer, nor do I think I can dance good but I know the feeling of walking out of a store after a days worth of shopping for new clothes or shoes or anything, and all you want to do is jump up and scream because you are so happy with all of the selections you have chosen and that now you have something new to wear the next day. I believe this photo captures that wonderfully. I also enjoy the fact that she is around tons of people but no one is looking at her differently or even noticing her for that matter. It shows that what she is doing is natural.
Each photo gives off such a realistic feel to it, even though the people are doing crazy movements with their bodies that most people wouldnt even attempt. Another photo that really gives off emotion is the one of the man in the subways in New York City. Im sure all of us as one point in our life has been in that situation where you are running to catch a train or a subway. This man is leaping to catch his train but the shape and movement of his body are so beautifully caught.
These photos as a collection, to me, show so much beauty.
