Denis Darzacq: Act

A perspective on physical challenges

In other series Denis Darzacq uses dancers and athletes to capture able bodies in suspension, in urban settings. In ‘Act,’ 2008-2011, he photographed people with physical limitations, from a variety of backgrounds, careers and locations from the south of France to the north of England and the States; the goal was for each to express their individuality through a collaborative effort with the photographer. Denis worked with institutions, dance and sports groups, to find eager participants. “Everyone, from the moment he decided to play the game, took an active part in the image by choosing gestures, attitudes, clothing, a place.”
