Working closely with choreographers and performers, Paul Phung presents a photographic series of five acts grappling with the unspoken language of the body. With no discernible beginning or end to the publication, the reader unwittingly joins a dance, manoeuvring through a sequence of life-size clippings; weightless figures wrestle through internal dialogues. Falling Leaves obscures the distinctions between photographer and choreographer, reader and performer. Each act is underscored by writer Maisie Skidmore, whose stanzas weave between pages.

Falling Leaves is printed on a combination of Mohawk Superfine and Colorplan papers from G . F Smith. It has been published by Ex. Coda, designed by Map in Your Mind and printed by Pressision.

Paul Phung Born in Manchester, Paul Phung is a photographer based between London and Paris and working internationally. Phung is known for his monochromatic aesthetic that centers around a collective of dancers, capturing light, gesture, and movement that elicit human interaction and emotions. The way he captures stillness amidst movement creates a sensory experience that transcends the visual.
