When I began photographing festivals in 2017, I found myself trying time and again to capture flow artists. At each festival, I used different films, different cameras, and different settings to try and capture what I saw as an elusive third entity. There is the dancer, the prop (stave, hoop, whip, fan, etc.), and then the place of union where the lights of the prop become an authentic extension of the person, neither independently perceivable. Light Body’s goal is to capture and share these visions of this transcendent self. This collection was shot entirely on 35mm with no digital manipulation. Neil Clifton Cain is an Indiana native who began exhibiting photography in 2008. His work explores non-linearity, spirit of place, and transcendental personality through the utilization of abstraction, surrealist elements, and experimental photographic techniques. His work has been exhibited at the Grunwald Gallery and Noise Gallery in Bloomington, IN, the Stutz Gallery, Harrison Center, and Guichelaar Gallery in Indianapolis, IN, as well as galleries in New York, Colorado, Illinois, Canada, and South Korea.
