Imagine climbing onto the spire of a skyscraper and standing there, several hundred metres above the ground – with no safety rope or parachute. For a group of young death-defying Ukrainian and Russian urban explorers, this is reality – it’s what they do in search of the ultimate experience. Their endeavours result in wild YouTube videos and reckless selfies on social media and this new kind of visual expression is booming in the former Eastern bloc. At the forefront of the movement is a young woman. Armed with a GoPro camera, she takes us to the very top and lets us experience this unique rush of freedom. Sweat and nerves are easy to come by as Angela balances on the tip of a crane hundreds of metres above the streets of Moscow. But down below on solid ground, the harsh realities of life await.
