The present is to live or to lose: In conversation with movement director and former ballet dancer Pascal Johnson

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Pascal Johnson, @pascaljohnson a former dancer with the Dutch National Ballet, now a movement director and producer who has worked for brands like Apple, Calvin Klein, and Nike, on a photo series that grew into something deeper. What started as a visual exploration turned into a dialogue about presence, memory, and what exactly an image can and cannot truly hold. Together, we approached the process as an open-ended reflection, using movement and stillness through the visual medium of photography to investigate how the body carries memory and inhabits the present.

At the heart of this series is a complicated question: can we ever really preserve something fleeting? We often believe that by permanently affixing a body into image that we are holding on to something true. But permanence does not equal meaning. Time strips away context, and leaves behind a thin surface, a static impression of a figure that once moved with thought, fear, laughter, and love. What is left is a fossil of ego, a trace of something that was never meant to be still.

I’m making a duet for myself and @meganlecrone, which will premiere at Naples international dance festival!

🚨Life update! 🚨 After 9 years and 7.5 years respectively Loretta and I are moving to NYC, in just under 3 weeks! ✈️🗽🇺🇸

We are so looking forward to this next step and excited to see how God is going to provide and place us in this city!

We’re also going to miss Amsterdam what a gift it was to be here and journey with our community! Whether it has been Liberty Church, Dutch National Ballet, the Academy of Architecture or Wolfstreet. We’ll miss you all! ❤️❤️💙💙
