Presentation of Zinedine Zidane's new exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris

Paris (France), Oct 04 (EFE) - (Camera: Edgar Sapiña Manchado) Footballer Zinedine Zidane continues to fascinate even though his silhouette stopped trotting across soccer fields 17 years ago and is now being explored in an exhibition that will open its doors tomorrow at the imposing Philharmonic building in Paris.

FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION 'ZIDANE, A PORTRAIT OF THE 21ST CENTURY' AT THE PHILHARMONIE DE PARIS, FRANCE. STATEMENTS BY PHILIPPE PARRENO, AUTHOR OF THE FILM 'ZIDANE, A CONTEMPORARY ICON', AND NICOLAS BECKER, SOUND DIRECTOR OF THE SAME DOCUMENTARY.

Translations:

1. Philippe Parreno, author of the film 'Zidane, a contemporary icon'.

It is the portrait of an instant, we see images that we had forgotten, the memory is strange, and we remember the galacticos: Figo, Raul, Casillas, Ronaldo, Owen, Beckham... It is a moment that we had forgotten, but when we see it we remember that at that moment there were other events, the Iraq war... It is a reflection of how we forget or remember things. It is a relationship with time, with history. It was what we projected and seen retroactively, it works.

2. Nicolas Becker, sound engineer for the film 'Zidane, a contemporary icon'.

In the moments when he leaves the reality of the match and you enter more into the intimacy of Zidane, it helps to enter into his thoughts, his dreams, his interior, it helps us to enter into his spirit and create a dramaturgy, one more character among so many players and thousands of spectators. It allows us to enter into the intimate within a public space.
