THE RITUAL
Carefully building an experiment of magic neorealism with an undetermined outcome, Alessandro Michele gave the models of The Ritual campaign no script to follow
“I let the models build their own images. To act as photographers and storytellers, producers and scenographers. I asked them to represent the idea they have of themselves. To go public with it, shaping the poetry that accompanies them. I encouraged them to play, improvising with their life.”
" [I] surrendered to the idea that beauty can appear, unpredictably and wonderfully imperfect, through the absence of control.”
- ALESSANDRO MICHELE
