Even the laws of gravity can be broken in the real... I stumbled upon these images in my daily scan of the web.. Enjoy..

Below is the translation from French to English:

"When the cable of society's elevator snaps, it's good to know how to bounce."
(Think social climbing, "glass ceilings", and what happens when the elevator brake
breaks.)

"Between the launch and the landing, parachutists in the city better learn to control their trajectory.
(The leap out of the plane or off the base for base-jumping gives urban troopers at least
a little room to learn what they need to survive.)

"Naked architecture is opposed by their bodies' and desires' resilience ."
( Flexibility is advisable in a rigid environment.)

"This lesson in gravitics calls for strict discipline, even if not the kind
learned in school."
(Lessons of the street rule.)

"After last fall's riots, photographer Denis Darzacq made
these sixteen photos that speak, chillingly, of the turbulence of
life in a precarious balance."

Basic Translation: watch out for that last step: it's a lulu.

Great concept, presentation, & art - packed with imagery. among reasons why it's more than just 'taking pictures of people jumping' [opinion, although it somewhat echos the artist's own description] : in each shot, one can have a really great time considering the juxtaposition of the posed, flexible form of the model to the background rectangular geometry of the city.
