Breakdance
Summertime, a fairground, a waltzer in swirling, somewhat unreal colours and a group of teenagers. Their immobility marks them out from the almost frenzied movement. A shifting, luminous place, in which the voice of a young girl is heard. She talks about summer at the funfair but, more strikingly, about a life of violence and disappointed hopes, with no future. “First, I was fascinated by the amazing colours of the “Breakdance”. Then the teenagers standing nearby caught my eye. A chance discovery turned into a detailed study.”
