Still
A found-footage loop drawn from the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II in 2015. As the title makes clear, it situates Jennifer Lawrence’s appearance in Dior Haute Couture within its cultural and historical context, linking cinema, fashion, and politics. What unfolds is a real event that simultaneously reveals itself as a carefully staged performance and a precise choreography of glances for the cameras. The soundtrack is taken from the runway show of Raf Simons’ first collection for Dior in 2012—the year both his collaboration with Lawrence as brand ambassador began and the first Hunger Games film was released, now echoed in the closing of the series.
