Parkour. L’arte dello spostamento urbano

2013 Apr

Parkour, more than other street sports, it’s a lifestyle. Francesca Buonacara created this photographic project in the outskirts of Bologna IT.
With these pictures Francesca documents the training of these athletes. Outdoor workouts using architectural structures as tracks of Parkour.


The project received a special mention at the 2013 Revolution FIOF

“È un lavoro di osservazione su una disciplina che fatica ad essere definita solo sportiva e che, soprattutto, si interseca nel tessuto urbano, che abbatte barriere e crea relazioni sociali. L’occhio fotografico entra discretamente in questo tessuto e cerca di dare il suo punto di vista, per mostrare gli attimi sospesi di un salto o un’arrampicata, lasciando che, allo spettatore, non rimanga altro che quel momento di distacco dal terreno, la sospensione in aria, le braccia tese e la curiosità di sapere cosa accadrà dopo. “
