February 2008: my portraits photographed at the Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden in South Africa were displayed on the walls of Paris…
Dr. Jane Goodall herself came to inaugurate the exhibition.
Twenty enormous canvases showcasing rescued chimpanzees adorned the façades of the Regional Council of Ile-de-France on Boulevard des Invalides and Rue de Babylone, right in the heart of Paris, during February and March 2008.
What a shock it was for me: the emotion of experiencing my first photography exhibition was heightened by introducing Sally, Abu, Amadeus, Zeena, and Joao right in the middle of Paris.
Their gazes captivated passersby… the magic happened!
