Culture

The Hospital Club in London
Dance photographer Rick Guest along with Olivia Pomp, a long-time collaborator, are set to unveil the exhibit, “Rick Guest: What Lies Beneath Private View.”

The duo “explore the supreme spirit and ensuing physicality that underpins a dancer’s art [by] stripping away the external layers of costume, role and performance to reveal the character of the dancers themselves. Once exposed, we see a life of dedication, resolve and sacrifice reflected in their eyes and carved into their bodies,” according to The Hospital Club.
