Vogue Italia × Rick Owens
Ode to a Happening on Earth
Laetitia Negre
Chris Parks shot the in-camera fluid effects for Vogue Italia × Rick Owens (2016, directed by Laetitia Negre).
Director Laetitia Negre and DoP Matthew Smith approached Chris to work with them on this primeval meets post apocalyptic piece for Vogue titled 'Ode to a Happening on Earth'. The film was shot on film and the fluids segments were scanned from 35mm print stock to match the feel. Click to view the film.
The film contrasts and combines the sheer materiality of skin, water, vapors and sky, cut between vortices of molten lava, and celestial tides.
