LOIE FULLER: RESEARCH
OLA MACIEJEWSKA
In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Musée des Beaux-Arts et de l'Archéologie for the presentation of Loie Fuller: Research by Ola Maciejewska.
Loie Fuller: Research reactivates the famous Serpentine Dance created by Loie Fuller, a controversial figure in the Western choreographic tradition. She merged dance with special effects to transform herself into a flame, ocean waves, and other natural phenomena by incorporating yards of silk attached to bamboo wands into her creations. In this work, Maciejewska confronts the myth of the icon, its paradoxes, and the untraceable in the piece. By archiving dance through the body, the work provides a unique lens into the history of choreography, its transmission and emancipation.
