PARIS 2024
In anticipation of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, artist and photographer Mathieu Forget, launched an ambitious artistic project that seeks to bridge the worlds of art and sport. As a proud ambassador of Paris 2024, Forget set out to celebrate movement, energy, and emotion through his signature visual language — where athletic performance meets artistic expression.
The project began with a commission to photograph the venues and landmarks that would host the upcoming Games, capturing their architectural grandeur and cultural significance while promoting public engagement with @Paris2024. What started as a documentation of place soon evolved into a creative dialogue between artist and athlete.
Over the course of 3 years, Forget collaborated with more than 40 Olympic and Paralympic athletes from France. Together, they reimagined each sport through choreography, dance, and flight — translating the precision, strength, and beauty of athletic motion into a poetic visual form.
Under his concept “Faire Voler le Sport” / “Sport in the Air”), which later became a self-edited and distributed book by Mathieu Forget, the series embodies a celebration of movement and human potential — a tribute to the spirit of the Games and to the harmony between performance and art.
