As the French presidential candidates fiercely fight for their right, here is a bit of social photography by French artist Denis Darzac. To keep us inspired..
"When the social elevator is broken you have to know how to bounce. Between the take off and the fall, the man parachuted in the city learns to control his trajectory.
To the rough concrete of the buildings, he opposes the elasticity of his body and his desires. This gravitation exercice requires discipline, even if it's not the one we've learned in classrooms. After the riots of last autumn, the photograph Denis Darzacq realized 16 of those perilous shots, that says the turbulences and the life in precarious balance."
(Natacha Wolinski in Beaux-Arts magazine juin 2006)
