It also speaks to the idea that art and life are integrated and not separated; even the smallest tasks can be made more beautiful through creativity and effort. It has a wonderful sense of humour; making a simple task into a big production. These ideas, put together with the excellent photography and staging, the beauty and skill of the dancers, combine to say "life is what we make of it." It's very nice.

The others are just set dressing. Actually, I don't think the girl with the light bulb could actually reach the socket in the position she's in. Nice photo though. Sorry for being a realist. ;-) Uhm, two? The others are just set dressing. Actually, I don’t think the girl with the light bulb could actually reach the socket in the position she’s in.

I think it has something to do with the abstract positioning of someone changing a lightbulb. I mean, it has absolutely nothing to do with dance, so it has an element of humour. It's an everyday job, done in such an interesting and different way, with BALLET DANCERS. How cool is that!!!???? I LOVE this photo.
