For Raphaël Zarka skateboarding is above all a question of forms - forms of rest, forms of movement - they subtly extend throughout the entire history of art and science, from Galileo to Robert Morris. Both urban architecture and skatepark obstacles strangely echo those forms. Zarka's essays participate in a kind of fantastic archeology; in their way, they expand his sculptural and photographic practice.
