Fog

Yazan Setabouha
Multidisciplinary Artist

Fog is a short experimental dance film that explores the intimate, shifting relationship between costume and the human body. The work emerged from Yazan’s curiosity about how the body is shaped, obscured, and revealed through fabric, movement, and light. Set in a site-specific location, the piece captures a dreamlike atmosphere—one of emergence, disappearance, and return.

Central to the process was a collaboration with six visual artists, each using a different photographic technique to capture dance in still form. The project questioned how emotion, energy, and movement can survive in a single image, how movement, so fleeting by nature, can be rendered timeless.

Fog became more than a film. It became a study in translation, between motion and stillness, gesture and frame, dancer and photographer.
