Partial Eclipse
A Photographic Diary of Touring with Anthony McCall and Jonah Bokaer's Eclipse
Photography Series / Artist Book / Performance Documentation
Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, + New York
Partial Eclipse is a photographic series and artist book documenting Michael Robinson's month-long journey touring with Anthony McCall and Jonah Bokaer's performance work Eclipse through Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Moving between contemporary dance, installation art, photography, and personal narrative, the series explores the relationship between light, movement, memory, parenthood, and symbolic language.
McCall's immersive environments of light, sound, and atmosphere transform the stage into a living architecture. Within these spaces, dancers wearing reflective safety vests and white garments move between visibility and disappearance, creating temporary drawings of bodies, shadows, and illumination.
Traveling with his three-month-old daughter while supporting his partner and performer, Robinson documents the spaces between performance and everyday life—hotels, theaters, transit, caregiving, waiting, and moments of transformation.
Connected to Robinson's ongoing Universus series, Partial Eclipse considers scenography as an evolving glyph system: a visual language created through light, movement, repetition, and memory.
