Viviane
Sassen
Fill Your World With Wonder
Maison Perrier-Jouët unveils its collaboration with the artist Viviane Sassen. A joyful, positive and mindful ode to nature.
Maison Perrier-Jouët encourages us to reflect on an increasingly pressing issue: the need to continue to (re)think our relationship with nature. To preserve this relationship of symbiosis with nature, to have a positive impact on the ecosystem, to implement a savoir-faire inspired by the living world – these priorities are at the heart of Maison Perrier-Jouët’s thinking and action.
Collaboration
Viviane Sassen
Photographer
The Dutch artist is known for her singular approach to fashion photography, which she presents as a composition based on her own creative collages. The collaboration between the Dutch artist Viviane Sassen and Maison Perrier-Jouët is an encounter based on a shared ethos and a shared vision of nature – a community of thought that led the House to commission Viviane Sassen to provide the creative direction for the film and the visuals of its new advertising campaign. For Fill Your World with Wonder, the artist creates a fusion between art and nature, the twin pillars of the House, and captures an image of nature that is at once poetic and vibrant, placing a human presence at its heart.
