To celebrate Veuve Clicquot’s Solaire Culture, eight Magnum photographers were commissioned to convey the emotions inspired in them by the Sun. Working simultaneously, across five continents, the photographers delivered their individual interpretations in 40 new photographs, each an illustration of the Sun’s power, at the occasion of the Milan Design Week, in a space designed for the occasion. Alongside the photographs, a series of videos, produced by Magnum, sees each photographer in the making, sharing insights on their approach and stories.
