Love Infinity - Paul

When I met Paul it was a day of uncertainly. I called three children to learn dance with a remarkable choreographer. But the choreographer was injured and most of the children couldn't  come for the shoot. Now only Stella and this new boy, Paul. I think I just asked them to dance and see what happens. A miracle came at the time they started moving. Stella has been trained as a dancer, which I didn't find out until after the shoot, and Paul danced with wild, animalistic energy. It was such a surprise and a joy. In order to keep their energy very high I separated the dance in three part instinctively. Every time they started I became like a third dancer, letting them pay attention to my camera. It meant that my camera motivated them to continue. The effect was a dance like a natural wave between three moving powers affecting each other by interacting in the movement. There is no stop call until the energy has all passed away. When the rhythm is lost, that means when they have nothing left to express. Paul's dance gave Love Infinity a very powerful ending for the young generation expressing themselves with all fear of uncertainty of the environment nowadays.
