We’ve all felt the urge to get loose and dance at inappropriate times. With his series Dancers Among Us, New York photographer Jordan Matter shows what the world might look like if the energy of dancers invaded the mundane drudge of everyday life.
From Matter’s artist statement:
“As we get older and wiser, what happens to this enthusiasm, this ability to be wholly present in the moment? Why are these pure moments of passion so often replaced by cynicism, boredom, and indifference?
“… Dancers are storytellers. They’re trained to personify passionate moments, their bodies imbued with a stunning combination of artistry and athleticism. They create a fantasy world, offering us a deeper look into familiar settings. They bring to life what we feel but are unable to express physically.”
