Extensions analyzes direction and space using other peoples’ bodies, much like Velocity Piece does using Le Va’s body. The medium of photography allows the piece to be as dynamic as a performance; the motion of this work echoes the back-and-forth sprint of Velocity Piece. Extensions takes place in nature, however, letting the chance encounters present in nature into the space of the work, which was rare for Le Va.Exhibitions
