Workplace Art

Nora Gibson is a Philadelphia choreographer who has been increasingly interested in the crossroads between dance and visual art. She has begun to add a component to her work that harkens back to the “tableau vivant,” which literally means living picture. The above photo is a very simple, spare tableau, depicting a suited person at the base of two file box towers. This tableau was an introduction to a dance solo, and was set to music. The image is symbolic of several things: someone wedged between mountains of work, someone who might have jumped out of tall office buildings, someone at the base of an economic canyon, etc.
