Zidane Wolverhampton art exhibition watched by 20,000 fans

The use of 17 synchronised cameras, enabled the film to focus on all aspects of his playing style, the gallery said.

Directed by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, the film captured the star from multiple angles, remaining fixed on him even when the action moves elsewhere.

The exhibition also had memorabilia from some of football’s other greatest players, including Pelé and Lionel Messi.

Ian Fegan, director of city economy and partnerships, said: “After kicking off the season with a world class exhibition, it was wonderful that during the half time programme we were able to introduce Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

“The exhibition has been extremely well received and over 20,000 fans and visitors have visited the gallery.”
