Synopsis
Photography collides with gravity-defying acts in this sensual and mesmerizing collection of photographs that capture the explosive energy and beauty of bodies. In this extraordinary suite of images by Acey Harper, the energy and beauty of nude female and male bodies-devoid of costumes, greasepaint, stage sets, and lighting-are photographed stripped bare (figuratively and literally), revealing the acrobats’ art, craft, and emotions. The beautiful, well-trained, and highly flexible bodies are captured in settings from the natural (beaches in the Marin Headlands, forests in Vermont, the Black Rock Desert) to the gritty urban (a New Jersey steel mill, San Francisco streets, the New York subway).
In three captivating essays, Harriet Heyman, well-schooled in trapeze arts, describes firsthand what it feels like to train as an acrobat and what motivates these dedicated artists.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Text in English. 223 pp. Some edge wear to the dust jacket. small stain to the text block exterior edge and front flap. In this daring collection of portraits-itself a work of visual poetry-an ad hoc troupe of wildly talented acrobats and aerialists, female and male, shed their costumes to bare their true passions. Edgy, seductive, mysterious, antic, explosive, sensual, the subjects of these heart-stopping images fire our imaginations. These stunning photographs by Acey Harper expose the art of the acrobat, where nerve, muscle, and fierce concentration conspire to defy mortal limits. Disturbing beauty converges with haunting eros in surprising settings: the forests and beaches of the Marin Headlands, the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, a railroad trestle in Vermont, the streets of San Francisco, the New York subway. But how does one learn to fly, and what does it feel like? In three captivating, first-person essays, Harriet Heyman, herself well-trained in aerial arts, describes the education of the acrobat, The pros are her mentors, and their stories, along with her own, are told in prose that reverberates like a taut string. Her insights combine with these evocative images to create an experience both pure of heart and voyeuristic. It's an invitation to dream-exotic athleticism caught in the revealing instant.
