AM Studio Paris X Michel Sedan

Prelude to a Dream

Creative Director Alexandra Mercuri has collaborated artistically with photographer Michel Sedan on multiple occasions. Their editorial project and short film Prelude to a Dream pay tribute to the subtle power of body language—drawing inspiration from the silent poetry of Charlie Chaplin and the contemporary expressiveness of James Thierrée. The piece is brought to life by actor Maxence Danet-Fauvel.


“...I never get away from the notion that I am watching myself in the passing show. As I eat I think of changes in situations. I work while I play, with the result that I become myself, a piece of film.”
