Denis Darzacq
Hyper No. 16

2007

About the Item

French photographer Denis Darzacq chose HYPER supermarkets in Paris and Rouen as the setting for this series. There, brightly packaged and presented consumer goods provided a vivid and contemporary backdrop for his pictures. Darzacq invited street dancers into these stores, mostly young men and women in their late teens and early twenties, and asked them to perform their leaps, jumps, twirls, and other gravity-defying movements. The photographs explore the tension between being and having, between the human body and the built environment. They offer a fresh, witty and intensely colorful commentary on global consumerism and freedom of spirit. From an edition of 8 + 2 APs. Price includes framing.

In 1999, the French Ministry of Culture commissioned him to produce a body of work on French youth. In more recent work, Darzacq has focused on portraying young adults using their bodies to express an exuberant sense of freedom from the limitations life has placed upon them. In his two series La Chute...
