The project paid tribute to the iconic Gitanes silhouette designed by Max Ponty in 1947. Although 45 artists were originally invited, 41 artists ultimately created original interpretations inspired by the legendary image. Participating artists included Henryk Tomaszewski, Alan Fletcher, Laura Ljungkvist, Joze Domjan and others.
