Kristine Leschper wrote to me with a very intriguing proposition create a short film in response to her song Figure and I I knew that this deeply rhythmic twominute song needed some kind of somatic imagery I needed to move with my body and my camera as I was shooting it A few days later I went to The New Woman Behind the Camera exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City In this show I saw two photos by two women photographers from the 1920s whose work I had never seen before These images guided me to a way of interpreting the physicality and the intimacy of Kristines song Soon afterward I invited my friend Kim Wilberforce to be in my film and to interpret the song herself through her vibrant wardrobe and her precise ecstatic clapping gestures Lynne Sachs
