Ballerinas in origami tutus in an unusual photo project called "Plie"

Montreal artists Melika Dez and Polly Loktin met in January 2018 and decided to combine their fantasies in a creative collaboration. The result is a PLI project.A video in which Dez's skills as a photographer and Loktin's experience in paper art were "mounted" in a very interesting session.

As a result of this creative collaboration, a project called PLI.E Project ("Plie") appeared, revealing Melika's abilities as a movement photographer and Pauline's experience in the art of origami creation. Their joint artistic work shows ballerinas dressed in paper ballet costumes around the world.

Paulina specially made a dress of a certain shape and color for each ballerina, and Melika selected the most suitable locations for photo shoots, photographing models in such iconic places as the streets of New York, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome and others.
