Author Description

"For issue 48, sponsored by Van Cleef & Arpels, Visionaire invited filmmakers and fashion photographers to supply video footage that would be compressed into lenticular cards - an artful take on a medium that had previously been used chiefly as novelty. "Usually when you see lenticulars, they are executed in a goofy way," says Visionaire founder Cecilia Dean. "We wanted to elevate the medium by marrying the technique with very serious artists." MAGIC featured startlingly beautiful video works by Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze, Pedro Almodóvar, Gus Van Sant, Wong Kar Wai, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, and Mariko Mori, among others, and was made extra magical with the limited-edition, 18-karat gold Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra charms that came embedded in each issue s case." -- Publisher's website.
