primitive mysteries (1)

This is inspired by one of Graham's early masterpieces, Primitive Mysteries (1931), which is about the Virgin Mary. It is almost a ritual, the way she uses space and rhythm is astonishing. Here is a link to a photo by Barbara Morgan, here an article on the 1964 reconstruction by and with Yuriko and here my interview to Susan Sentler who took part to the 1984 reconstruction, always led by Yuriko.
