Barcelona-born
Isabel Muñoz dreamt of being a dancer until, in her twenties, she discovered an
even bigger passion: photography. She moved to Madrid
in the early 80s to capture the city’s frantic cultural awakening, later going
to New York
to study with John Wood. Still captivated by dance, from 1990 she travelled
from Havana to Beijing,
and from Istanbul to Rio,
photographing different companies and discovering during the process the
analogy between local dances and ancestral rituals. Muñoz has published several
books and has exhibited in Miami,
Berlin and Paris. It is the
latter where she is holding her latest show at the Galerie Seine 51, and
AnOther caught up with the fiery artist to talk dance, urban culture and sacred
rites.
