The gigantic, transparent spheres will serve as display cases for an exciting series of evolving themes, created together with the Village's partners and luxury brands.
As part of the celebration of 'Ten Years of Style', Ingolstadt Village will explore Sokolsky's creative vision of his unique 'Bubble Series' by presenting a very special exhibition to guests: an exclusive selection of the photographs from the Series, which will be shown in the Village until 27 June.
Born in New York in 1933, Sokolsky was the official photographer for the US magazine Harper's Bazaar from 1959 to 1969. He gained global acclaim with the extraordinary images he created in 1963, when he shot photos of models flying through Paris inside gigantic bubbles.
"A dream came true for me in 1963, when Harper's Bazaar agreed to allow me to photograph the 'Bubble Series' in Paris. To see and shoot the model, who was really inside the bubble, which was attached only to a very slender thread, was the realisation of a long-cherished dream. The team, the model Simone D'Aillencourt and I were all very passionately involved in our work, which transformed our shared illusion into reality."
"I'm very honoured by this collaboration with Ingolstadt Village. It makes me happy to see that my Bubble images continue to breathe life into my inspiration and vision."
