- Description
- This is a color archival pigment print from the negative. The photograph depicts Kid Freeze of the b-boy group Dynamic Rockers and Lucky of the hip hop group Zulu Nation breakdancing on a sidewalk. Both men are dressed in hip hop fashion with jeans and a denim jacket, low-top sneakers with fat laces, and jewelry. Lucky is on the right, wearing a hat with [LUCKY] on it and Cazal-like glasses. He is crouched with his proper left hand leaning on a boom box and his proper right hand is pointing at Kid Freeze. Kid Freeze is on the left, head spinning on a piece of cardboard. In motion, his face is turned from the camera. The background is a graffitied brick wall spray painted in red, blue, yellow and black.
