What Remains (short film)

by
Zoë Demoustier

Directed By: Jonathan Van Hemelrijck and Michiel Venmans

What Remains is a short film and dance piece by choreographer Zoë Demoustier, built around a simple and devastating premise: children who are beginning life sharing the stage with older dancers who are leaving it. Working as a still photographer on this production, I moved between the film set and the rehearsal space, documenting both the choreography and the quiet moments between. The result is a body of work that sits at the intersection of set photography and dance documentation, shaped by a piece that asks what the body holds and what it lets go.
