Ready to Dive – Pool Ladies, London, 1987
Photographer: Michael Joseph
Original photograph: London, 1987
Medium: Photographic print on aluminium
Series: Pool Ladies
Presentation: Bespoke silver-toned frame
From the Michael Joseph Archive
poised on the very edge of movement, a line of swimmers leans forward on the starting blocks, bodies repeating into the distance like a piece of choreography frozen a fraction of a second before the dive.
Taken from a wonderfully dramatic low viewpoint, Ready to Dive is one of those Michael Joseph compositions in which repetition becomes almost sculptural: legs, arms, bathing caps and bodies form a rhythmic procession through the image.
For this new-generation interpretation, the photograph has been printed on aluminium in extraordinary purple and silvery tones, transforming Michael’s 1987 image into something distinctly contemporary.
And aluminium brings its own magic. The surface reacts constantly to light: as you walk past the piece or the daylight in a room changes, highlights appear and disappear, the silver areas glow, and the purples move from deep aubergine to luminous violet. Parts of the image that seem subdued from one angle suddenly come alive from another.
This shifting metallic quality is almost impossible to convey fully in photographs. It is a piece that genuinely changes as you move around it.
The substantial silver-toned frame was deliberately chosen to complement the metallic surface, producing a finished work that sits somewhere between photography and contemporary decorative art.
Nearly forty years after the original photograph was taken, Ready to Dive has been given an entirely new life — while retaining Michael Joseph’s unmistakable eye for composition, repetition and theatricality.
A luminous, constantly changing interpretation of one of Michael Joseph’s most striking Pool Ladies compositions.
