Movie trailer:
Two different ways of expression, two different people, one motif.
As said before this collaboration is a little different from the
previous one. This time I challenged Bruno Albuquerque to make an illustration
based on the documentary film Man On Wire,
but Bruno is not the kind of guy who does what he is told to so he decided
he would rather do a poster instead of just an illustration and the result, as
always, is incredibly good.
Man On Wire is a passionate journey through Philippe Petit’s, a French
high-wire artist, plan to high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World
Trade Center. The idea of doing this is, by itself, mind-blowing but Philippe
Petit’s passionate speech makes it even more special.
I won’t get much into the film because that’s not the idea of this post
but this is one I highly recommend!
Getting to Bruno Albuquerque’s poster, it shall be said that Philippe
Petit was born in Seine-et-Marne, France hence the bucolic illustration on the left side
but it all ends at the sky of the industrial and lonesome city of New York which is represented in the right side
of it.

Dancer On Wire
The city that never sleeps stopped for a while
With eyes up high. Staring breathless
Filled with awestruck confusion.
One and a half thousand feet steel giants
Brought together by your umbilical cord.
Weightless dancer on wire,
Floating feather. Flawless performance.
How does it feel to stab the skies
How does it feel to stab the skies
With the world at your feet?
The clouds were eager to swallow you.
The clouds were eager to swallow you.
