SAM TAYLOR- JOHNSON - SECOND FLOOR

1ste druk

Taal: Engels

Introduction by Karl Lagerfeld. The photographs of the private private apartment of Mademoiselle Chanel, on the second floor of 31 rue Cambon, Paris, were taken on 26 may 2010.

When Sam Taylor-Johnson climbed the famous mirrored staircase of Chanels headquarters at 31 Rue Cambon, Paris, she did not quite know what to expect. Her destination was Coco Chanels private apartment on the second floor; her mission, to photograph it. Through the door marked MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ, Taylor-Johnson entered Coco Chanels secret worldexactly as she had left it at her death in 1971. Taylor-Johnson captures the mysterious, eerie presence of Cocos ornaments and furniture: a golden lion, a bejewelled birdcage, leather-bound books, Chinese lacquer screens, crystal chandeliers. Ultimately we are left with a sense of beautiful emptinessCocos touch is everywhere, but everywhere is haunted by her absence.
