"Duality: Exploring the Intricate Balance of Alike and Apart" In this captivating image, a Werewolf costume for the Ballet de la Nuit by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-87) showcases the intriguing concept of duality. The figure stands tall, his bald head contrasting with his bare chest, both elements emphasizing the stark blackness of his werewolf attire. Through a close-up color image, we witness an exquisite comparison between man and beast. Drawing inspiration from Dualities - Dorothy Norman's 1932 photograph captured by Alfred Stieglitz, we delve deeper into the complexities of duality. Just as light and shadow intertwine in Norman's work, so too do our own dualistic natures dance within us. We are simultaneously strong yet vulnerable, confident yet uncertain. The narrator and the Horla find themselves entangled in a battle between dream and reality. Illustrated in Le Horla', their struggle epitomizes the constant tug-of-war experienced when faced with opposing forces within ourselves. Woman Standing Behind the Sun further explores this theme through its pencil & w/c on paper depiction; it is as if she hides behind her own radiance. Reklameschau poster for Berlin Advertising Exhibition in 1929 adds another layer to our understanding – vibrant colors juxtaposed against each other create an explosion of contrasts that mirror life itself. It reminds us that even amidst chaos or discordance, beauty can be found. Costume for Night for Ballet de la Nuit symbolizes how dualities can coexist harmoniously on stage; just like performers who seamlessly transition from one character to another during a performance, we too navigate multiple roles throughout our lives. From "Just that good" to "Under cover, " these phrases hint at moments where duality becomes evident – perhaps when someone surprises us with unexpected talents or when hidden aspects of ourselves come to light under certain circumstances.
