Falco was also an avid photographer. He took thousands of pictures. The photographs selected for this book were shot between 1978 and 1986. They were chosen from a collection of 14,652 scattered negatives corresponding to 525 grease penciled contact sheets preserved in 63 catalogued folders and stored in seven acid-free boxes as part of the Louis Falco Archive. And, they are an invitation into another facet of this legendary choreographer’s view of the world.

Introduced and edited by Alan Sener, a former dancer with the Louis Falco Dance Company, and currently the Regisseur for the Louis Falco Repertory, and the Archivist for the Louis Falco Estate.
