Brazilian ballet dancer Ingrid Silva moves high above Manhattan, spotlighting the rooftop architecture of the New York Times Building
Revealing the rooftop of Renzo Piano's New York Times Building for the first time, director Jacob Krupnick captures Brazilian ballet dancer Ingrid Silva against the Manhattan skyline at sunrise for short film Above. Dancing to music by Nils Frahm and wearing a custom paper sculpture by French artist Pauline Loctin, Silva moves between HVAC utilities humming 800 feet above the city, in an unseen space with an unexpected elegance.
“I started with a simple idea: A dance film about being perched on the roof, high in the sky - a bird, aflutter in the wind. Few people had ever been up there, but the photo editors had discovered this space that no one was allowed to visit.”
Working with cinematographer Soren Nielsen to create floating camera movements, Above imagines Silva as a bird in the wind, agile on the catwalks of the rooftop, casting light on Piano’s meticulous detailing from the overlooked corners of his architectural vision.
