Artwork Description

Back to the Highways — a frame taken by photographer Omer Sela — quietly paved the beginning of a new artistic journey for Dana Katz, as she transitioned from choreography and film toward the tactile stillness of prints on silk fabric. Captured during the final moments of her culminating live performance after nearly a decade in New York City, the image holds a charged stillness. The performer stands facing the Statue of Liberty, almost as if deliberately saying goodbye to the city. Behind her, the skyline dissolves into distance — the architecture of a life already receding. The body that once moved through time now pauses inside an image. Seen in retrospect, Back to the Highways is less a farewell than a pivot. It documents the instant when the ephemeral nature of performance began transforming into the enduring visual structures that would define Katz’s next artistic chapter.
