Interview with Christian Caujolle "The Idea is to Try to Make Us Perceive What Mysticism is"

MADRID.- Isabel Muñoz studies human forms, which she analyzes in her images of body parts and snapshots of soldiers, bullfighters and dancers. Added to this is her mastery of developing techniques, a process she carries out in a meticulous, artisanal manner. Her motivation to do research has led her to travel the world, portraying movement and bodies to construct a style in which sensuality, pleasure and desire are captured by her snapshots. Made possible by an artist’s grant from the Community of Madrid Photography Award in 2006, the exhibition addresses two main themes: love and ecstasy in her photographs of Dervishes. The showing portrays the state of ecstasy reached through spiritual dance performed by Nomadic Syrian Dervishes and in the ceremonies of Iranian Dervishes. Christian Caujolle, co-curator of the exhibition, explains some of its key points at PHE.es
