Meet Mathieu Rouaux - photographer and royal ballet dancer">
Meet Royal Danish Ballet dancer Mathieu Rouaux at his photography exhibition, a celebration of the mystery and magic of ballet. His imagery captures both unseen moments of intense preparation and the electric energy of the stage
Dark Gallery CPH presents a powerful photography exhibition by Mathieu Rouaux, dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet. Meet the artist himself on Sunday 23 March from 13:00-16:00 for a presentation of his photography
Mathieu Rouaux's curated Mo.Ro. collection of mostly analogue photography features some of his favourite images captured at the Royal Danish Theatre's Old Stage over the past three years.
"The theatre became my favourite playground, not only for dancing but also for capturing unique moments with the click of my camera. The quality of film photography resonates deeply with dance; it underscores its mystique while subtly revealing some of its inherent mystery," Mathieu Rouaux
The gallery's intimate bathroom space has additionally been transformed into Mathieu Rouaux's dressing room - a personal environment displaying a collection of his ballet attire, cameras, costumes, makeup, and personal photographs - ranging from crafted fine art prints to candid, spontaneous Polaroids.
Dark Gallery CPH is an artist-run photography gallery rooted in experimentation and storytelling. Unique to the gallery, several exhibition spaces are Dark Spaces where light is a performative part of the curated experience.
General opening hours: 19-29 March
Tue-Fri 14:00-17:00, Sat-Sun 13:00-16:00, Monday closed
