With each frame tinted by hand, Loie Fuller’s Serpentine Dance came to be the first known dance recorded on camera.

The light, a potent strand of her living artistry, was intended by Fuller to adapt and transform into her atmosphere, which ended up being an emblematic conveyance of her “La Loie” stature. It was rumored that her last words were: “The light! The light!”
