WHEN IN CANNES DURING FESTIVAL DE CANNES 2022 | UNRAVELLING
While the lion roars in the hands of the best director, even the streets of Cannes are tinged in gold and its most intimate, lived places are evolving in an explicit state-of-the-art itself. “Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather” as the Velvet Underground sang, in love with the power of femininity. The city of art films and excesses comes up by its distinctive realms, designing a contrast between sexual composure and verve. Freedom is released in each facet and is not afraid to push the limits in the night or in the day.
All is unlaced and bodies move, angular and aggressive silhouettes create an idea of statuary presence settled within an urban-coastal context – as if the Sirens of Ulysses land on the beach, in leather and fierce shine though, ready to seduce. The pearl of the French Riviera has always been an emblematic place of excesses, desired for mysterious attraction and this is how a 2000 star folklore is recalled every year at the dawn of May.
