Aída

1976 • Directed by

Narcisa Hirsch

In Aída (1976), a Super 8 camera captures ballerina Aída Laib dancing vigorously in Hirsch’s atelier to the sounds of Nina Simone. The dancing movements intersperse with a visual exploration of the artist’s naked body, where Hirsch’s sensual gaze grasps textures and reaches abstraction.
