Bottega Veneta: Jacob Elordi Stars in Duane Michals Short Film
Since 2024, Australian actor Jacob Elordi has been a [translate:Bottega Veneta] brand ambassador and now leads the house’s “What Are Dreams” project, which includes a short film and photographic series by U.S. artist Duane Michals.
Shot in black and white at [translate:Michals’s home in New York], the project reflects Michals’s deep connection to Surrealism and explores the unconscious, the imaginary, and the uncanny, as explained by the house.
Elordi recites the poem [translate:"What Are Dreams"], written by Michals in 1932 and published in 2001 in his photobook [translate:"Questions Without Answers"]. The poem evokes the "midnight movies of the mind... in which things seem familiar, yet not quite the same."
The accompanying 12-photograph series shows Elordi in poetic, mysterious settings, consistent with the photographic style Michals has been known for since the 1960s. Visual elements reference Surrealist artists admired by Michals, including Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte.
