"The Fall" by Denis Darzacq

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.”
