Caruso Canon 5D Mark III 85mm F/11 1/125 ISO100 Caruso Canon 5D Mark III 100mm F/11 1/125 ISO100 Caruso Alessandro Risuleo and Mvula Sungani The successful collaboration between the photogra- pher, Alessandro Risuleo and the choreographer, Mvula Sungani is an artistic project, freely inspired by the show ‘Caruso’ by Mvula Sun- gani, which involves the creation of static poses of physical dance. With “Caruso”, the title of which is inspired by the memorable song of Lucio Dalla, Risuleo used his art of photography to immortalize the poses of the dance company’s protagonists, enhancing the per- fect lines depicted by their bodies. The essentiality and perfection of those shapes are highlighted by the wine-making lattice applied on the bodies of the dancers which emphasize their spectacular compo- nents, as well as give life to the sculptural images and contributing to point out the fluidity of their move- ments. Caruso Canon 5D Mark III 70mm F/13 1/125 ISO100 Alessandro Risuleo, in this photographic project is aligned with his own work, which has always been focused into the use of the human body as symbol of exemplary beauty and carries on his concept of classicism by using the culture of the human figure. The elegance of the images is made possible by the ability of Risuleo to portray the posture of two danc- ers during the solemn act of their performance.
