THE FALL - Denis Darzacq, Virginie Chardin
The "La chute" series features the weightless bodies of Hip Hop, Capoeira and contemporary dancers. A "fall of the angel" from the 2000s, full of tension and energy, between heaven and earth. "Just after the suburban crisis of 2005, between gravity and heaviness, I made photographs suspended in generic, popular architecture. I like the fact that, in the age of Photoshop, photography can still surprise and bear witness to moments that really existed, without trickery or manipulation," explains Denis Darzacq. ...) In the housing estates of a popular, urban Paris, he creates baroque images of weightless, levitating bodies. Propulsion. Loss of gravity. Energy. Thrust. Shifting perspectives. And ONE question: what do we do with this energy? What do we do with these bodies that want to enter the I and risk crashing to the ground if we ignore them, if we let them fall.
