Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz

Salomania

2009, 17’, video projection

Salomania restages the “dance of the seven veils” from Alla Nazimova’s 1923 silent film, Salomé, itself centred on the figure of Salomé – an icon of independence and sexual freedom. Salomania also features performances and rehearsals of extracts from Valda’s Solo, created by choreographer and director Yvonne Rainer after watching Nazimova’s film. Here, Rainer is seen imparting her choreographic expertise to the performer Wu Tsang.
