Three cyan, magenta and yellow wall shadows. A photorealistic wide studio photograph on a white cyclorama, a completely nude adult female dancer caught in mid-air at the top of a grand jete, designed as a three-colour chronophotograph. Her whole body is well clear of the floor: legs split wide in the air with the front leg extended and the back leg arched behind her, both arms thrown in opposite directions, back arched, chin lifted, hair loose and flying upward, breasts and stomach exposed in the air, both feet pointed. She is the fourth beat of her own jump, and the three earlier beats hang on the wall and floor behind her as flat colour silhouettes of the same leap, arranged along the rising arc of the trajectory: furthest back and lowest, a cyan silhouette of her crouched in the take-off; in the middle, a magenta silhouette rising with the front leg already off the ground; closest to her and highest, a pale yellow silhouette near the apex with the arms opening. The three copies are evenly spaced along the arc, each complete and readable with both arms and legs clear, none of them covering her body and none cropped by the frame edge. The studio is otherwise completely empty with no props, no equipment and no other person, lighting is even and soft from the front, and her body plus the edges of the three silhouettes are sharply in focus with the floor and wall reading as one continuous white space.
