Untitled (All Night Dancing)
Christian Holstad
American, born 1972
2003
A cut-and-pasted printed-paper collage that stages two patterned, blue‑headed figures in a domestic bathroom to suggest a playful, performative encounter between body and space.
You’re stopped by the jarring mix of glossy photographic sinks and a shower curtain reading “ALL NIGHT DANCING” against flat, psychedelic-patterned bodies with deep‑blue heads and white outlines that seem to float and repeat across the tiled floor.
The piece demonstrates an early‑21st‑century reinvention of collage and drawing—colliding photographed interiors with handlike patterning—to probe performance, identity, and the uneasy overlap of private and public life.
