Denis Darzacq


Denis Darzacq's series La Chute (The Fall) depicts young people falling in urban environments. He persuaded street dancers to pose, asking them to look expressionless. Apart from being a series of stunning, stirring, poetic images, it is a political comment about a generation in freefall.

His comment is: 'I like the fact that you can read into these photos whatever you want. Will we let them hit the ground? Will anyone rush out to scoop them up?'
