First steps on the Moon

 

Laetitia Casta
by William Laxton
in Visage
by Tsai Ming-Liang

In the earphones, one could hear:
Earthlings, Sea of Cold Base here. The flying reindeer has landed.

With the first notes of the Spanish song Historia de un Amor,
a strange ballet between Laetitia and the Deer began as in a Christmas tale.

That’s one small step for Ondine, one giant leap for womankind.

On a choreography by Philippe Decouflé, Laetitia is undulating [ondoie] to charm not only the Deer.
The double shadow on the snow seems to give her a pair of wings or rather a tail of fish...
So the light acts as a telltale sign.
