MUDDY DANCE
Erik Kessels has created an unconventional life-size football match on the former orchard in La Tour-de-Peilz, Festival Images Vevey, Switzerland. He selected 22 black-and-white images from British sports archives to represent two teams of players and arranged them on this slightly sloping piece of land. He erased the ball in each shot, thus transforming them into casual choreographies. Kessels’ Muddy Dance brings the beauty of footballers’ movements to the fore and turns this popular sport into a veritable art form.
