Gaia Portraits
Gaia Portraits by Kelemen Kinga
Gaia Portraits is an ongoing photographic series capturing the human essence of the International Program in Scenography. Created by Kelemen Kinga, the official photographer of IPS, the series features not only participants and mentors, but also organizers, technicians, special guests, and all those whose presence shapes the program.
We all land on Earth from a transcendental world and return to it at the end of our journey. But between these moments of “before” and “after”, indifferent of our geographical origin, our bodies are uniformally shaped by the very same mass as Earth itself.
The portraits are inspired by the greek mythological goddess - Gaia.
- Kelemen Kinga
