Of course, people physically cannot fly, no matter how much they would like. The problem is that we, immersed in the hustle and bustle of the modern lifestyle, even if we took off, would not notice it. French photographer Franck Bohbot hunted for three years flying people in Paris, Barcelona, New York and other cities. The result resulted in the Levitation photo project.
Looking at many of Frank's works from this cycle, you do not immediately notice that people are actually hovering at them. Actually, the flying people themselves do not seem to notice this at all - they are too busy. Flying people is a very interesting topic, and many artists have turned to it. For example, photographer Koen Demuynck had a flying office worker as one of his crazy ideas. Franck Bohbot photographed people on city streets from 2007 to 2010.
Franck Bohbot usually works for different companies: advertising agencies, architecture firms, record labels. The Levitation project is only one of about a dozen, and the Frenchman devoted several years to it alone. On the one hand, his characters are simply flying people, but if you dig deeper, then this idea that we are too busy to notice really important things runs through his work as a red thread.
Other works of Frank (as well as these) can be viewed on his website.

The fact is that it is there that planes fly over vacationers so low that people are simply breathtaking. It was this moment that the photographer tried to convey in a series of black and white photographs, relaxing on the beach from 2009 to 2011

Fauna in an urban context. Sculpture by Kenny Hunter (Kenny Hunter)
People living in cities are used to walking down the street, stepping over garbage lying here and there, plastic bags, wrappers, and sometimes something larger. This phenomenon is already on an international scale due to the growing consumer needs of the inhabitants of the entire planet, where products quickly lose their importance, become obsolete and subsequently thrown away. People have adapted to this way of life, but by no means animals, which are gradually losing touch with the natural environment
