Live in NYC

I am creating a moment for the viewer, to study the composition, and while taking a breath, create comparisons and juxtapositions, explains Loikas. It was like jazz and interaction with the dancers, where the communication was done by body language and movement rather than words and thoughts. We found a common groove, which exhibits itself with great results and timeless moments. Loikas photographed moments of dance, which became two-dimensional compositions, kind of human statues in different environments. The result where a moving dancer becomes still and dissolves into the surroundings, particularly interests him. He is also interested in how environment and architecture influence human senses and behavior. The photographs were created while Loikas received an artist residency in New York in 2013 by the Finnish Art Council and The Dance Centre of Western Finland.
