What happens when a dancer picks up a camera and decides to defy gravity? For ten years now, Mathieu Forget has been answering that question frame by frame, city by city, body by body.
What happens when a dancer picks up a camera and decides to defy gravity? For ten years now, Mathieu Forget has been answering that question frame by frame, city by city, body by body. The coffee-table book *Levitation* looks back on this dizzying decade: a visual and intimate journey across continents, collaborations, and the metamorphoses of an artist in full flight.
From New York to Tokyo, from Paris to Los Angeles, and across the ice fields of Antarctica: this book brings together the most striking photographs from Mathieu Forget’s body of work. Without tricks or post-processing of the movements in flight, each image—captured in a fraction of a second—is both an athletic feat and an artistic representation. A separate chapter is dedicated to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, for which the artist collaborated with athletes to create an exclusive photo series. Enriched with testimonials from prominent figures in sports, dance, and the visual arts, LEVITATION is not merely a coffee-table book: it is a manifesto for freedom, movement, and surpassing oneself.
The book was created as a visual and immersive experience, in which carefully selected images come to life through augmented reality, deepening the meaning behind each creation.
