DESIGN FOR LUXURY & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Collaboration with Audemars Piguet 2009

with Xavier Perrenoud

Creation of transformable jewels for Audemars Piguet allowing to highlight hidden parts and thus change their aesthetics. The watch brand Audemars Piguet wanted to create a series of jewels inspired by their oval watches from the "Millenary" line. The aim was to design a collection of discreet jewellery - which could be easily worn during the day - and which could be transformed into more luxurious pieces for special evening events.

Léonore Baud – Lovers of the Nile

by Léonore Baud

Young couples in search of intimacy on the banks of the Nile in Cairo. Léonore Baud tries to catch them with her camera in a long tracking shot in a car; but as soon as the lovers feel observed, they stop snogging. Uncomfortable with this device, the director stops shooting. What she would like to do is to get out of the car and film the couples openly. A step that Egyptian moral rules make impossible however. Lovers of the Nile poses a fundamental question of the cinema of reality. Can we force people to be filmed?

by Tamara Lanfranconi

When I was about twelve years old, my life and my father's life began to run parallel paths that crossed only from time to time; even in his most mature years he remains for me a mysterious, almost invented character. When his health began to worsen, I decided to make the first trip to my native land, Sicily, hoping to reconnect with him.
