Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is a two-channel film installation conceived by artists Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno. Centered on the iconic French soccer star, Zinédine Zidane—at the time among the most recognized players in the world—the work reimagines portraiture through the language of contemporary spectacle. Rather than documenting a career or recounting biographical milestones, the artists construct an intense, time-bound study of a single individual under the glare of global attention.
