'From 'Sex and the City' Mikhail Baryshnikov Makes Dancing Subject of Photo-Series 'Dancing Away'

If it was not enough to be nominated for an Oscar in 1977 — after defecting from the Soviet Union in '74 — Mikhail Baryshnikov has kept up his pace with photography. Now the 66-year-old dancer-cum-actor opens his latest dance-inspired installation "Dancing Away," premiering now at Contini Art UK. Perhaps one of the most celebrated dancers of our time, Baryshnikov kept himself busy everywhere from being artistic director of the American Ballet Theatre and receiving Kennedy Centre Honors and the Chubb Fellowship, to name a few. And, more popularly, Misha is known for his role on Sex and the City, spearheading the mainstream but, as "The Guardian" points out, not in any sex symbol kind of way. His latest visual art piece, however, is a different perspective on his first love: theater. Using a medium he is not as familiar with as the subject proves to be an experiment in the meta-visual.
