Acclaimed video artist and film director Marco Brambilla has been a pivotal figure in turning his favoured medium into a recognised, celebrated art form.
His work “GHOST” is a study of model Natasha Poly, which is described by collaborating visual effects boutique Art Jail as: ‘An investigation into the obsessive behavior of the public eye and it’s lingering effects on those chased and caught by it. The piece utilizes multiple shots, all presented head-on, giving the audience an opportunity to experience the deconstruction of an icon as it strips the beauty out of fashion.’
Mesmerising and moving, this work uses a simple visual concept that still speaks volumes.
Rock duo VV and Hotel (aka Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince), have collaborated with French fashion brand Zadig and Voltaire in a shoot with Purple Magazine’s Olivier Zahm. Described as being one half “a pretty and cheeky brunette” – and the other as “a nonchalant and charismatic dandy”, The Kills feature in the brand’s latest ad campaign, which gives an intimate glimpse at the pair’s “rebellious, melancholic and playful aspects.”
