Award-winning aerial photographer Brad Walls, also known as Bradscanvas, has released a brand new body of work titled “ballerine de l'air” (Ballerina from the air), just in time for World Ballet day, inviting audiences to experience yet another fresh and intimate perspective, this time into the captivating beauty of Ballet. Initially inspired by an image by Olive Cotton, “Teacup ballet”, Walls began exploring the concept in early 2020, pinning ideas to a virtual inspiration board that consisted of shadows, shapes and tutus, stating that “Most people had seen Ballet photographed traditionally... and while those photos are undeniably beautiful, wanted to rewrite the composition, purely focusing on the unique shapes and shadows of the art form.” Montana Rubin, a member of the corps de ballet (body of the ballet) within the prestigious Australian Ballet photographed by Rubin.

As much as any other artist whose work takes on denial and neglect, David Wojnarowicz used his unique skills as a writer, painter, and thinker to give voice to queer rights at a critical time in U.S. history. In this collage-like yet incisive exploration of his life, Chris McKim deftly mixes his paintings, photos, films, old answering-machine messages, and recorded conversations with recollections from friends, relatives, curators, critics, colleagues, and siblings. McKim traces Wojnarowicz’s life, from his toxic New Jersey upbringing to his “making it” in the New York art scene, and beyond. As New York City became the epicenter of the AIDS crisis, Wojnarowicz's art became angrier and more outspoken, and his powerful, unapologetic way of seeing the world made an impact that greatly contributed toward gay rights. Wojnarowicz, a victim of AIDS, passed away in 1992 at age 37, but as this film attests, his uncompromising work and attitude still carry great relevance.
