CONTINUING on from Daniel Lee’s curation last week, London-based photographer and filmmaker Tyrone Lebon took control of Bottega’s Residency. Having photographed the brand’s latest campaign, it was only a natural succession in the company’s multi-platform initiative that connects creatives together for our enjoyment.
Tyrone Lebon on Charles Bukowski
The week began with a focus on Lebon’s favourite author, Charles Bukowski. Having been given one of his books as a teenager, the American writer has made a lasting impact on the photographer.
Tyrone Lebon on Barry Kamen
Barry Kamen, Lebon’s favourite artist, well known for being one of the founding members of the Buffalo movement, was celebrated. Explaining that Kamen had been a close friend of his father’s, the artist played a huge role, prior to his death in 2015, in encouraging Lebon’s artistic practice.
Reely and Truly (2019) by Tyrone Lebon
Tyrone Lebon releases a short documentary titled Reely and Truly. He states that its more akin to a “visual poem on contemporary photographers and their practices”, featuring over 30 photographers cross the globe in his film.
Animated Film by Barry Kamen
Combining his admiration for Barry Kamen and his talent of visual curation, Lebon presents an animated video by Kamen that he carefully pieces together for the Bottega Residency.
Mirroring the same pattern of last week, Bottega Residency will showcase a recipe this weekend, as well as a Sunday screening of Lebon’s favourite film.
The Bottega Residency will be available to stream this weekend via Instagram, YouTube, Weibo, WeChat, Line, Kakao, Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud and through Bottega’s website.
