Arts+Culture / IncomingRyan McGinley: Entrance RomanceThe well-known photographer branches out into video art for his new film, exclusively made for NownessShareLink copied ✔️June 24, 2010Arts+CultureIncomingText Dazed Digital American photographer Ryan McGinley and model Carolyn Murphy, the current face of make up brand Estee Lauder and Tom Ford, have teamed up to produce short film Entrance Romance (It Felt Like a Kiss) in conjunction with Nowness.com. The film launched today exclusively on the LVMH-run website, is not as violent as the title indicates, but instead features Murphy indulging in some seriously heavy petting with a dog, whilst being intermittently bombarded with glass bottles before a bowl full of goldfish is launched towards her head. "I think we did the fishbowl scene in just one take. As soon as it cracked against my head, everyone dove down and scrambled to pick up the goldfish. None were hurt in the making of this film", she reassures.Shot partly in slow motion (with a Phantom Camera at a rate of 1,500 fps, if you really must know) it relies heavily on the skilled hands of make up artist James Kaliardos, whose previous clients include Madonna, Gwen Stefani and Nicole Kidman. Adding an edge to it all is a droning, chanted soundtrack, which can be taken as spiritual or ominous, depending, of course, on how you feel about doggy love. Escape the algorithm!
