Physical description

Worn during the painting "Enchanté" on the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It is a paper head, painted. This head is none other than that of Joan of Arc. Inside it is a helmet to make it easier to get dressed for the participant. The head is padded with foam board. A part under the eyes is made of tulle so that the person inside can see.

Notes

In the midst of this pink frenzy are great French figures. Dressed in pink, these characters have large heads made like origami. Among these characters is Joan of Arc.
