The photographs in this series by French photographer Denis Darzacq are arresting enough on their own—untouched images of Parisian hip hop and contemporary dancers frozen mid-jump, mid-spin, and mid-flip in postures that often convey a sense of indifference towards the approaching earth.

And then you find out how the series came about: From French Culture: “It was a carefully crafted response of Darzacq and a group of young French people to the alienation of youths on suburban housing estates after the riots that shook France in 2005 … A depiction of an entire generation in France in free fall, ignored by society, their energy untapped and unused.”
