Hyper, 2008-2010
The photographer Denis Darzacq has been interested for several years in his photographic work, in the place of the individual in our societies.
This is achieved through the use of artistic but also purely documentary photography all of which are the fruit of shared real-life experience. There is no digital manipulation.
In “Hyper”, this questioning is structured around a formal opposition: between the body and its surroundings, or between being and having.
I – Hyper, 2007
The photographer asked young dancers and athletes to jump around, encouraged by the violence of their surroundings – hypermarkets – and their movements inspired by mannerist painting: unreal, overacted and pointless.
Movements of resistance to a consumerist world invading our lives more and more.
But also simply an artistic proposition free of any social or political interpretation.
II – Hyper, 2010
On the one hand, the stereotypical and anxious setting of the “living places” that hypermarkets have become, and on the other hand the proud power of bodies in action that refuse submission and silence.
