Isabelle Grosse's approach here extends what she was already doing with her outlining of crowds (the city streams series) namely : the observation of forms. 


Through electro, krump, and voguing, three culturally distinct urban dance forms, she examines how movement generates what might be termed invisible architecture. Each gesture inscribes ephemeral geometries in space, with dancers claiming volume and establishing territorial boundaries through kinetic assertion. Despite their formal differences, these vernacular practices share a common function: converting air into owned domain through corporeal inscription.
