The City is a Choreography
Melissa Schriek's landmark project and publication ’The City Is A Choreography’ explores how we connect meaningfully to our built environment. Photographed over three years, in cities around the world from Berlin to Los Angeles, Melissa uses her background in dance and documentary photography to address what it means to belong to a place.
"Schriek playfully encourages us to question our relationships with the people around us, and the spaces that we occupy, with the hope of making us re-address how we operate and communicate in our shared environment."
Hannah Geddes, Curator of Interpretation at Tate"I see the city as a place of constant movement, a rhythm we become part of once we step on to the streets."
