NOWNESS presents a video directed by Andres Arochi in which Luis Barragan's house and studio in Mexico City "hosts a body-bending dance troupe who twist and move through the geometric building’s colorful spaces and rooms."
I wanted to play around with and explore the architect’s design. He knew exactly when and where people stand, and how the combination of light and space makes them feel.
When we began shooting, magic started to happen. Light burst in through the window, and the dancer’s bodies started to flow in a way I had not anticipated.
