Figure skating is a collective art

A collective rite, a primordial union of bodies and movements, comes to life in Kazan. It is staged by the ‘Tartastan’ figure skating group.

A fascinating art, in which various bodies merge into a single organism, recalling primitive paintings and releasing deep sensations.

An unconscious union of purpose with a higher meaning. This is the meaning behind the work of Dmitry Ermakov: a socio-cultural project to discover and portrait the intense non-verbal communication in this wonderful sports form.
