Album One - Preparation for the performances of The Body in Pain

For their first shoot JJ decided to first warm up. He wasn't really thinking of a theme, just the pictures. He had a black wall, just painted by none other than Jane (It's on video), a bright afternoon, and the moment of the afternoon where the sun is just going down, letting its light fall in full blast through the windows.

There was a log, which is waiting to hold Jane hanging, some ropes and a garment Jane found in NY and thought it would be useful one day.

With that and nothing more they started their shoot.

JJ asked Jane to put on the garment and nothing else. She would be naked except for that black, laced, see through, garment;

After their warm up session, where JJ placed Jane against the wall, first facing it and later with her back against it, JJ was excited enough to start his brain rolling.

"We'll do a preparation shoot for your future videos, we'll call it Performance of the Body in Pain."

Jane didn't like the title that much, but there it was, as a concept, and it was enough to get JJ on a roll.

On the first set, the one they were not thinking of anything specific, Jane was placed agains the black wall, her hands behind her back.

Later this set became The Trial.

In JJ's escenarios there's always a Trial. That's one element of his previous work that was never explored and for the obvious reasons.

But in a photo shoot it's possible. It's only a representation, no high drama. So the first set became The Trial.

For the second set JJ lowered Jane's top wrapped her wrists and had her pose in many quiet ways. This set became "The Sentence".

Jane learns what's going to become of her.

For the third set, JJ brought into the set the very heavy wooden log he plans to use on a series of rfpix movies.

He had Jane become acquainted with the wood. So, the set is called "The Patibulum"
The fourth set is called The Walk. Jane has to carry the log to her final destination. A must, of course.
The fifth set in the series is called The Fall. The burden is to heavy for poor Jane so she goes down.
The sixth set is called The Wait. It can also be the Scourge. Preparations are made for her execution and so she waits.
The seventh set is called "On the Cross", representing the moment where the condenmed is nailed to the wood.
The eigth set is called "Crucified". Jane hangs from the cross.
The ninth set is called "Alternatives". A few photos made as an after thought.
