Fishing onto concrete; Dali and Koudelka; and making a machine that translates dance. Trying to trace a path through the strange process of devising a piece of dance-theatre.
V interesting. But I don't think there's any suggestion that those gentlemen photographed by Josef Koudelka were fishermen – unless you meant it metaphorically somehow. They certainly aren't seen on a beach. They're on top of a mountain called Croagh Patrick and (it's a famous site of pilgrimage) no doubt performed various acts of faith on the way up.
You're right - we must have conflated this image with some of the images that are actually on beaches from the 'Spain' series. There's something interesting in and of itself about how mistakes in a rehearsal room can still lead somewhere worthwhile. I like the idea that our concrete fisherman came into being from a misreading. There's something nice about that. Apologies all for misreading the Koudelka.
