Amazônia

Description

After his virtual show at Notre Dame, which gathered more than 75 million viewers, JEAN-MICHEL JARRE presents his new creation "Amazônia." "Amazônia" is the project of photographer Sebastiao Salgado. An exhibition on the Amazon rainforest, commissioned by the Philharmonie de Paris. In addition to the fragility of this ecosystem, the exhibition highlights the richness of the Amazonian sound universe, by making the impressive photographs of Salgado interact with a new creation by Jean-Michel Jarre, designed from concrete sounds of the forest. The rustling of trees, the cries of animals, the songs of birds, and the crashing waters rushing down from the mountains, collected in situ, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, compose a sound landscape adapted to Salgado's journey. Appointed ambassador to UNESCO in 1993, Jean-Michel Jarre is involved in remarkable projects for tolerance and cultural pluralism as well as for the defense of nature and the environment. The exhibition will then travel around the world, notably stopping in Rome, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and London.
