Christian Zeimer (1934 - 2020) was a French painter, the son of an upholsterer and designer who also worked as a salesman and Le Bon Marché. After he left the École Boulle, he learned how to engrave on jewelry. He then studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, where he studied under the painter Marcel Gromaire.
A libertarian and anarchist, he worked alongside Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Olivier O. Olivier, and Roland Topor and participated in the Panic Movement in the 1960s. He contributed to the newspaper Le Fou Parle and the magazine Hara-Kiri. Alongside Henri Cueco, Jacques Jouet, Hervé Le Tellier, and others, Zeimert was one of the "papous" on the program Des Papous dans la tête, aired on France Culture and hosted by Françoise Treussardstyle in literature, cinema, painting and acting gravitates toward the surreal macabre.
Panic Movement (Mouvement panique) was a collective formed by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Roland Topor in Paris, France in 1962. Inspired by and named after the god Pan, and influenced by Luis Buñuel and Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty, the group concentrated on chaotic performance art and surreal imagery. Members of this movement believed that the contemporary world is full of injustice, disgust, inequality and human perplexity.
The Panic Movement performed theatrical events designed to be shocking, as a response to surrealism becoming petite bourgeoisie and to release destructive energies in search of peace and beauty. One four-hour performance known as Melodrama Sacramentral was staged in May 1965 at the Paris Festival of Free Expression. The "happening" starred Jodorowsky dressed in motorcyclist leather and featured him slitting the throats of two geese, taping two snakes to his chest and having himself stripped and whipped. Other scenes included a staged murder of a rabbi, a crucified chicken, a giant vagina giving birth to Jodorowsky, naked women covered in honey and the throwing of live turtles into the audience.
Arrabal and Jodorowsky later started to work also on film. They collaborated on the cult Fando y Lis in 1968. Arrabal is well-known for his 1971 film Viva la muerte and 1973 film I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse and 1975 film The Tree of Guernica. Jodorowsky achieved even greater popularity and a cult status with The Holy Mountain, El Topo and Santa Sangre.
Jodorowsky dissolved the Panic Movement in 1973, after the release of Arrabal's book Le panique.
