Project Description
This project offers a satirical and ironic take on the 2024 Olympic Games, set against the backdrop of Paris. The narrative humorously exaggerates current concerns about the River Seine's water quality. In this portrayal, athletes are depicted swimming in the Seine alongside rats, symbolizing the severe pollution of the river. Following their events, these athletes are shown hospitalized with Escherichia coli infections, highlighting the risks associated with competing in unsafe environmental conditions. The project serves as a ironic commentary on the readiness of the host city and the potential health hazards posed by the polluted river.
