Conceived as a continuous loop, the video piece shows Nakanishi’s tiny, freehand line drawings as they suggest a passing mountainscape, the peaks and valleys ticking by like a heart-rate monitor Richter’s original score, “Platinum,” provides the enveloping background. La Prairie-a champion of the arts, lately though its work with Fondation Beyeler on the conservation of Piet Mondrian paintings, and its support of the MoMA PS1’s new Niki de Saint Phalle retrospective-put Richter and Nakanishi in dialogue for Eternal Circle (2020). ($1,755 at Selfridges $1,980 via La Prairie.)Ī different kind of rarefied animation also accompanies the launch. La Prairie's Platinum Rare Haute-Rejuvenation protocol is a month-long treatment engineered for a cellular-level reboot. But La Prairie has spent nearly a century concocting ways to facilitate that kind of cellular-level rehabilitation-if not quite quite adding years to life, at least “adding life to years,” as the company’s founder, Swiss physician Dr. If only we could emerge from our quarantine bubbles in mint condition, like dolls sold on eBay preserved in their original boxes. The patina of everyday wear-brows furrowed into screens-is progressing as expected.

Birthdays, if we’re lucky, continue apace.

The first day of spring arrives this weekend. The anniversary of the pandemic has just passed, marking a year in which everyone’s lives have been unmoored from their usual rhythms. It’s certainly a moment-either twisted or refreshingly apropos-to reconsider time. “If you rewind the clock 100 million years, or fast-forward 100 million years: You know, the concept of eternity, it feels very calm.” “I find there’s something very relaxing about thinking of bigger time scales-this concept of deep time,” composer Max Richter says in a La Prairie film teasing his recent collaboration with artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi.
