Brandon 'Miel' Masele
Galerie kreo is thrilled to inaugurate 'kreo moves', a series of dance performances that envision gallery pieces through the eye of contemporary dancers.
Each video in the series showcases a dancer choreographing a unique performance around a piece they have selected from the gallery’s collection. These 'carte blanche' performances reveal the poetry and intimacy that exist within our everyday objects, as well as the connection they share with the human body.
Our first video features Brandon 'Miel' Masele, a pioneering electro dancer whose performance centers around Alessandro Mendini's 'White Gold Poltrona'. The large, curvaceous armchair, covered with white gold mosaic tiles and placed beneath the gallery's skylight, serves as a shining focal point to Masele's graceful movements.
"As an architect, I have a deep admiration for symmetries, lines, spaces, geometries, and the rules that stem from these states of energetic tension. They have the ability to reproduce the human body as a sublime symbol, where the body and mind are driven towards a desire for spiritual perfection that is almost like a dance. "
