This series of four photographs depicts a group of Tang dynasty ceramic dancers, each with a tag hanging around its neck in preparation for an upcoming auction. Their vivid expressions and dynamic body language reminds the photographer of of Nijinsky’s role in Petrushka—a puppet brought to life, struggling against fate—as if the figures themselves were seeking a way to escape the sale.
