Dancers on Rooftops #33 - Maud (France, 2013)

'Dancers on Rooftops' offers a subtle yet enticing perspective on what it means to dance upon metaphorical and literal cityscapes. The concept of Home lies between our most basic need – shelter – and the enigmatic desire to animate space with movement, belonging and connection. Dance, in almost all cultures, is the ecstatic exploration of how one inhabits their own body and how that body inhabits space. From London to the Middle East, [Ben Hopper](https://opensea.io/BenHopper) explores how bodies bring buildings to life, and vice versa, through the contrast between living, organic limbs and raw, exposed architecture. Hopper photographs with the awareness that beneath these rooftops lie houses, and within them people living their lives in countless different configurations.
