Obsessed with Light pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller (1862–1928), a pioneer of modern dance. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the documentary delves into the influence Fuller’s work has on contemporary culture including artists like Taylor Swift, Shakira, William Kentridge and Red Hot Chili Peppers among others. Fuller developed a new kind of spectacle combining light, fabric and movement. It’s about a woman – unapologetic about her body type and open about her sexuality.
