Exquis - Albert Serra

Albert Serra, director of "Pacifiction" and "Tardes de Soledad," a film about bullfighting and the psyche of a young torero, soon to be presented at the San Sebastian Festival, has a great interest in clothing and larger-than-life characters. He will be the first guest of Exquis. We will discuss with him the creation of a character through their appearance, the work of costume design, the spirit of the dandy, and the figure of Karl Lagerfeld, who fascinates him. Albert Serra will guide us to the second guest of Exquis, from the world of art and literature.

"Exquis" is a series of encounters centered around fashion and clothing, based on the theory of six degrees of separation and the exquisite corpse game. The rules are simple and playful: a first guest comes to shed light on the theme from their perspective. They connect clothing to cinema, contemporary art, literature, gastronomy, or architecture. At the end of the conversation, they introduce the second person, who will in turn enrich the theme with their vision. This second person leads us to the third, who introduces the fourth, and so on.

Thus, through the rhythm of these encounters, a multi-faceted conversation unfolds, bouncing and surprising, complementing or diverging, ultimately illuminating the theme through six chosen perspectives. Different worldviews blend during this exploration to which Marie Ottavi invites us.
