This project, In Search of Nijinsky, explores the essence of Vaslav Nijinsky, the Kiev-born dancer hailed as the greatest of the early 20th century. Renowned for his profound, innovative performances, Nijinsky expressed himself intensely through movement. His 1919 diaries, written before his schizophrenia diagnosis and hospitalization, reveal a torrent of thoughts, as if his dance had turned into writing. I'm captivated by his psychological journey after dance—was movement still his mental language? Through this project, I seek to visualize his inner world, exploring his thought and fears.
