Chloë Sevigny, Talking To Strangers & ODE - The Natural Aperitif

The Last Line: A film by Fabien Baron, starring Chloë Sevigny for Zarahome

Hi friends,

lately I am craving weekends away from my desk, so here is a “the day after Sunday” new episode of personally curated links and highlights for you.

Couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when I discovered Chloë Sevigny starring in a short movie directed by Fabien Baron for - gulp - Zara Home. But well, the creative outpour you find inside the little trailer is mind blowing and C. can do whatever she feels like doing. Treat yourself to the master piece here.

Have a lovely start into the week everyone 🐝

📚. BOOKS

QUICK PREVIEW - Sheila Heti is publishing a new book on February 15th 2022! I also love this little back story: “She found the Ellsworth Kelly painting that graces the cover after seeing it hanging on the wall at a friend's house (the artist and writer Leanne Shapton). She saved a photo of the painting, eventually passing it along to Kim, whose initial cover concept was a simple black outline of a circle.” (via)

And this is what we can expect:

What if this world is just a first draft, made by some great artist in order to be destroyed?

In this first draft of existence, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira's chest like a portal - to what, she doesn't know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and she enters that strange and dizzying dimension that great loss opens up.

This is a book about the shape of a life, from beginning to end. It's about art, critics, and ageing. It's about the surrounding world - sky, trees, lakes, stars - and 'the world beyond this world', which can be glimpsed in rare moments when something shattering occurs.

Pure Colour is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty. It's a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and its shape-shifting, mystical form allows us to take in the whole world in one glance. (via)

👯‍♀️ FRIENDS

Excited by the design appeal of non-alcoholic, but US market only, brand Ghia, I was happy to discover ODE - The Natural Aperitif. It was founded by two graphic designers to bring a world of raw flavours into one sophisticated aperitif. The “Bright Lemon” consists of seven different types of lemons (!) and other fruits that are enhanced by eleven essences that develop a new and quite complex experience for your taste buds. For now, this is a limited edition of 500 bottles that work on a first-come, first-serve approach. (LINK)
