Miu Miu: Women Tales – Muta by Lucrezia
Martel. In this contemporary film noir, an elegant crew of female creatures
emerges insect-like from portals on board a ship anchored in a tropical sea,
their faces obscured from view. The
beings sashay like 40’s femme fatales, bearing sunglasses which conceal all but
the fluttering of their false lashes as a new language is revealed, a Morse
code of clicks and vibrations which underscore their private fantasy world of
desire and spiritual escapism. Entombed
aboard this luxury modernist boat, the female chrysalides prepare for their
strange metamorphosis, symbols of evolution, transcendence and escape from the
material and ephemeral.
