Jean-Paul Gaultier travaille

2015 • 53 min

Jean-Paul Gaultier's job is not to make a show or a perfume, nor to speak to the media or to present shows on MTV, it is to make clothes. He draws them, but above all, he creates them by draping them, by building them on the body of a cabin mannequin. Gaultier recreates in front of the camera twelve of his most emblematic creations. The dresses appear before our eyes and we follow the thought of Jean-Paul Gaultier walking between ideas and matter. The work of Gaultier, told by himself, as a lasting creative testament.

Steven Wilson: Routine

2015 • 10 min

"Amongst the hundreds of songs I have written over the years, 'Routine' has a very special place. It's a deeply sad story of loss and denial, but at its conclusion the clouds lift and there is acceptance at least. Having worked with her on 3 previous videos, I knew as soon as I wrote it that it was perfect for Jess to do something amazing with. Even then nothing prepared me for the organic beauty and power of the film she made, a painstaking labour of love that took her months to produce. When we play the song live I look out into the audience and see people swept away with emotion at the combination of music and animation. To find poetry and beauty in sadness is a wonderful thing I think" - Steven Wilson
