17 July 2020It is with great sadness that the Paris Opera has learned of the passing of Zizi Jeanmaire.
The solidarity collective #ProtègeTonSoignant is a multidisciplinary team of doctors, medical professors, entrepreneurs, engineers, developers and artists who have joined together to help the caregivers in France overcome the COVID-19 sanitary crisis.
During three months, they bought and delivered medical equipment to almost 400 care facilities in France (including Corsica and Mayotte) thanks to the donations of over 6800 people, companies and foundations - €7.4 million in total. (To consult the collective’s complete report, click on www.protegetonsoignant.com).
As a tribute to those who have been at the forefront to fight the pandemic, the collective, in cooperation with the Paris Opera, has imagined the installation of 500 portraits of caregivers exposed on the façade of a place symbolizing both culture and French history: the Bastille Opera house, a building designed by architect Carlos Ott. This work will by exposed from 10 to 29 July.
The project was conceived in partnership with Inside Out Project (an international participatory art project initiated by French artist JR): https://www.insideoutproject.net/en
Portraits have been taken by photographers David Hugonot Petit, Adrien Lachappelle and Nathalie Naffzger in a dozen of care facilities in France (Béziers, Nantes, Paris, Colmar, Saint-Denis, Lille, Bobigny…). A special thank you to all the caregivers who have welcomed us with such kindness and emotion.
