In the winter of 2023, I was brought to produce and project manage LIFE / LINES by the artist Sougwen Chung, a piece commissioned by the Italian luxury label BULGARI for their Serpenti Factory. Launched to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the brand’s iconic Serpenti emblem, the Factory was a multi-city and international artistic initiative embracing many aspects of the emblem, showcasing incredible works by forward-thinking creators
LIFE / LINES is a multi-media sculpture created using live motion-capture data realized in large-scale 3D printed chrome, resembling liquid mercury. It is accompanied by a cinematic process film - a virtual performance that shows the creative process unfolding. The work is inspired by the story of the Bulgari snake - a symbol of rebirth and perpetual return - and interprets the themes of tradition and transformation to show a new vision of Serpenti for the future.
LIFE / LINES premiered at the Serpenti Factory Milan with a private opening on 9 October 2023. It was open to the public from 10 October to 19 November 2023.
