A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography and creative direction by George Tomlinson. Hair and makeup by Libby Hellen. FORM is a monochrome study of dancer Pedro Donoso exploring movement, performance and the constructed image. Moving from structured tailoring through increasingly theatrical forms, the series treats the photographic studio as a stage, allowing elements of the image-making process to become part of the performance.
Self-styled throughout, Pedro uses clothing as an extension of that performance; shifting between structure, exaggeration and exposed skin to explore different expressions of himself in front of the camera.
