Bottega Veneta: Jacob Elordi Stars in Duane Michals Short Film
Since 2024, Australian actor Jacob Elordi has been a Bottega Veneta brand ambassador and now leads the house’s “What Are Dreams” project. This artistic endeavor includes a short film and photographic series created by U.S. photographer Duane Michals.
Shot in black and white at дом Michals in New York, the project reflects the artist’s strong connection to Surrealism, aiming to explore the unconscious, the imaginary, and the uncanny, according to the house.
«В коротком фильме Элорди читает стихотворение "What Are Dreams", написанное Михалсом, родившимся в 1932 году, и опубликованное в 2001 году в его фотокниге "Questions Without Answers"». The poem, which titles the project, evokes the "midnight movies of the mind... in which things seem familiar, yet not quite the same."
The twelve-photo series presents the actor in mysterious and poetic scenes, consistent with the photographer’s signature style since the 1960s. Several visual elements reference Surrealist artists admired by Michals, notably Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte.
