The whole project was done in two 3-hour sessions with no rehearsals and no replays. Notto improvised the poses from Nenad’s drawings in constant slow motion. To realize the full associative power of the hoop, Amodaj created a counter-shape to the hoop, a white sphere (the Ball) made from plaster strips, to match the cloth texture and placed it in a dynamic relationship with his model. The hoop skirt serves as an augmentation device, a skeletal extension meant to alter the visual perception of the human form. The photographs were based on an earlier series of drawings Nenad made of Notto wearing parts of the deconstructed wedding dress during his figure drawing study in Michael Markowitz’s 23rd Street studio in San Francisco. Amodaj created the Hoop and Ball series of photographs in June 2010 with dancer and author Shawnrey Notto.
