NEW CARHARTT WIP’S FALL/WINTER 2024 CAMPAIGN BY III-STUDIO

The new campaign Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) immerses you in an almost mystical, uncanny fantasy, inspired by the atmosphere of teenage rebellion.
Established in 1994, Carhartt WIP continues to adapt and modify the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. 

This time the campaign was created by the Parisian-based creative agency Ill-Studio, and was shot by Nadine Fraczkowski. The video was directed by Theodor Guelat.
Ill-Studio, with its cross-cultural approach, previously collaborated with Carhartt WIP on an exhibition accompanying the launch of the brand’s Archives book.

JIM JARMUSCH WILL CURATE A PERSONAL SELECTION OF ARTWORKS DURING PARIS PHOTO

Paris Photo invited a renowned filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Surrealism. Four films by Man Ray, a key figure in the entire Surrealism movement, have recently been restored. They were brought together as one film, «Return to Reason», which will be shown during the fair. For this film Jim Jarmusch and his avant-garde post-rock group SQÜRL composed original music.

This turns into an homage to Man Ray, as Jarmusch himself has a strong connection to photography, which has significantly influenced his films. He has made photographs for many years and has created hundreds of newsprint collages.

The public release of «Return to Reason» is scheduled for November 13.
The 27th edition of Paris Photo will be held at the Grand Palais from November 7 to 10, 2024.
