The result of an artist-in-residence programme in Serbia, photographer Natacha Paganelli’s video installation KOLO is nothing less than a theatrical extravaganza. Unfurling to the music of Matthieu Chauvin, the final product is reminiscent of a minimal version of the innovative choreographiy of the Russian ballet era?

At the same time, this digital trickery uncovers the utopia wich brings to life the attempts to create a national spirit throught the reconstitution of folklore and traditions.
