Found this video clip from an April 13 2020 BBC news piece where artists in
Rio de Janiero Brazil projected images of front line COVID-19 medical
workers onto the city's Christ the Redeemer statue. Click on the
video, their effort is well done.
Reminded me of my trip to Brazil (San Paulo then Rio) in 2015, where I had the fortune to trek up the mountain to the monument.

There is a bit of a rivalry for giant Jesus statues in Brazil, apparently. I noticed this related article on the BBC website, about the southern Brazilian city of Encantado building a larger, similar monument.
