THE STANDING MARCH

Renowned French artist JR and Oscar-nominated American filmmaker Darren Aronofsky have collaborated on The Standing March, a major public artwork that was exhibited in Paris during the UN’s COP21 climate conference. The video projection went on to be presented around the world and represents more than 500 people from different backgrounds united around the idea that the conference must end up with meaningful agreements between the countries. The protagonists, who joined the artists after a call for participation, have been filmed separately, rotating themselves on a green background and united to create a representation of humanity. 3D from the British group Massive Attack has composed the original soundtrack and Nils Frahm’s music is used in the short film.
