Breaking Through: One Photographer’s Mission to Capture Hip Hop’s Underground Roots

Breakdancing is now an Olympic sport. But Frankie Perez wants to show the world that breaking still thrives in the streets

His intention was only to film himself breaking, but he began to develop a love of photographing the people drifting about his world and capturing, with a participant’s eye, the subculture’s frenetic creative energy. Men fly in his photographs. Earthbound dancers contort their bodies into strange muscular forms, as though in a heated argument against gravity. In his photographs, Perez redraws the body’s supposed physical limits, conveying, on one hand, the sheer athleticism of the dance and, on the other, its artistic beauty.

This is my very 1st submission to the Miitomo anniversary contest. I lost a copy of the picture and got it back from a dead hard drive! So cool I haven’t seen this in a long time. As you can see it is similar to my other design being it a red theme. But they are westcoast b-boys and girls but they can also come off as 80’s street gang members. Anyway pretty cool I like it.

COMMEMORATING 40 YEARS OF A CULT/AMERICAN/HIP-HOP CLASSIC -- RELEASED THIS MONTH, 40 YEARS AGO.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 2409x3084 -- Spotlight on FAB 5 FREDDY (Far right) and ROCK Steady members in front of the now world famous "Wild Style" mural by Zephyr, Revolt, & Sharp, c. 1982. 📸: Martha Cooper.

MINI-OVERVIEW: ""I feel very humbled by the fact this film has lasted in the hearts and minds of so many for so long,” says Grandmaster Caz, who starred in "Wild Style." “I’m awed and flattered by the influence the movie has had on so many and it sits as a testament to those of us who dedicated our hearts, spirits and efforts to this culture now called Hip Hop.”

Ahearn tapped into the psyche of NYC’s youth when he shot on location in the South Bronx and downtown as the story unfolded around a tagger named Zoro (Lee Quiñones). He worked with real subway/street artists, B-boys, MCs and emerging turntablists, who shaped the future by just being themselves. Among other all-city innovators and rockers on-screen: Grand Master Flash, Busy Bee, the Cold Crush Brothers, Sandra “Lady Pink” Fabara, the Rock Steady Crew and Fab 5 Freddy. Unlike today, there was no YouTube to push your product, no corporate sponsors or studio backing.

“We were way out there without any visible funding … development was done in a complete vacuum,” Ahearn tells Tania Fuentez Media ahead of Monday’s celebration. “Everyone was worried it (Hip Hop) was gonna be a fad, it would disappear or people would forget about it. This was in the fall of 1980 when I was talking with people about making the film … of course, it never disappeared.”

Continuing, he reflects: “The film acted as a kind of statement of Hip Hop … most people didn’t know what it looked like or felt like. I am very proud of the vibe we caught in the movie. It may get a little sentimental with Lee and Lady Pink or it may get a little funny with Fred or Busy Bee, but it was real.""
