71BODIES

71BODIES 1DANCE Photography Exhibition

The photo exhibition consists of 71 portraits that are a part of the production 71BODIES 1DANCE. The photos consist of text written in first person by each person pictured. Through interviews, meetings and personal conversations with Daniel Mariblanca, each protagonist agreed to participate in the project with 71BODIES. The production team traveled to various countries and cities to create the foundation of the exhibition. During the pre production time, Daniel met over 150 transgender and gender non conforming people. 71 of those individuals are included in the exhibition.

The photos were taken by the late photography artist, Mar C Llop contracted with the company, 71BODIES for the project 71BODIES 1DANCE.

71BODIES is a transgender inclusive professional dance and performance company based in Bergen, Norway. The company was founded in 2018 by Daniel Mariblanca at the beginning of his gender transition out of an urgency to both understand and document the complexities that lie within the transgender identity.
