Art: Dance in Black and White by Artist Christina Rahm Galanis
Aboriginal people of Australia sometimes see in what they call "dreamtime". Their reality ressembles what western cultures would call mythology, and their art depict situations in life from above - from "dreamtime". As I studied art history, I enjoyed the paintings of Degas very much. I also became very interested in aboriginal art. Therefore, it was kind of an entertaining mind collision for me to imagine a view of a few Paris ballet dancers in white swirling skirts from this aboriginal "dreamtime" perspective. They really turned out like flowers.
