Depicting Parisian youths captured in mid-air as they plummet to earth, his series has recently surprised, shocked, and stirred the French art community. Encapsulating a message in a photograph is no easy task. What’s unique about Darzacq’s work is not that it makes a statement about an alienated generation, but the innovative technique with which he’s made it. Gazing at his expressionless subjects, his viewers cannot help but wonder if what they see is real. That these haunting images were created not with digital hackery, but with careful location scouting and break-dancing choreography, makes them all the more compelling.

Aside from photoshop, try guessing the technique he used to get the subject of each photo in his particular position. And yes, they’re all variations of one thing. No expensive, high-tech ropes or cables! The best mysteries often have the simplest of explanations. I think that’s what I like best about the series. It feels so macabre when you first look at them, but when you find out how they were actually made, the pictures take on a new light. [...]
