The series “La chute” features the weightless bodies of hip-hop, capoeira, and contemporary dancers. A “fall of the angel” from the 2000s, full of tension and energy, suspended between heaven and earth. “Right after the 2005 suburban riots, caught between gravity and weightlessness, I took photographs suspended within generic, working-class architecture. “I love that in the age of Photoshop, photography can still surprise and bear witness to moments that truly existed, without special effects or manipulation,” explains Denis Darzacq. …) In the housing projects of working-class, urban Paris, he creates baroque images of weightless, levitating bodies. Propulsion. Loss of gravity. Energy. Thrust. A shift in perspective. And ONE question: what do we do with this energy? What do we do with these bodies that want to enter into the self and that risk crashing to the ground if we ignore them, if we let them fall.
