THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU
Which one of us is insane: me or the world?” for our time this flow of reflections is highly relevant. And, of course, the same goes to the search of our own way by all means.
Orekhovno Estate has become the perfect space for our game. One of those times when the inspiration for a project comes from the shooting place. Everything here drives you to create and fantasize about new realms.
Just imagine the combination of the French castle Chateau de Tanlay and the historical spirit of the small homesteads from the read in youth books by Anne and Serge Golon about the adventures of erratic Angelique. How she was running around the fields and castles in her poofy dresses by everyone’s disapproving grunting.
Add on the mysterious story of Alice wandering around the enchanted garden, looking for something entirely worthy and unknown.
Recall whimsical frames from Pirates of the Caribbean with its land ship. The plots, imbued with the thirst to get out on its way.
In the park we wanted to show almost doll-like looking image amongst Thúja balls and ideally eerie trees.
In the fields, on the contrary, we tried to unleash the wind and let it run the tens of meters of fabric playing along with the girlish rebellion.
Greenhouses let in the soul of tomboy girl dressed in men's frock coat and trousers. Hothouse flowers print on the clothes and richly embroidered flower-brooches, collared on lace blouse engaged into a dialogue with cucumber thickets.
The idea of the project is based on a story of the world where everyone is searching for its own most important thing, but in its own parallel to everything else reality.


The shooting day by nature was quite similar to the mood of our idea, gave us the whole range of weather: thick clouds, morning rain, strong wind, hot dazzling sun in the afternoon and incredibly beautiful sunset.

Mischief managed.
