Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present the serendipitous photographic journey of James Starkman as he followed a group of Parkour practitioners (known as traceurs) training in various urban environments in and around New York City.
Parkour is a physical discipline that originated in France; it involves training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment. Simply put, Parkour is getting from point A to B in the shortest amount of time possible, often set in a city environment.
What began as an exploration of the visual elements of Parkour movement deepened into a personal inquiry for Starkman into the emotional and spiritual resonance of the images he spontaneously caught on film. The result is this arresting collection of "moments" in movement, simultaneously revealing aspects of both artist and subjects as they "let go."
