Rather than a mere commercial, to me “BMW Art journey” is more a documentary. Pandemic lockdowns have been the cradle of this idea. A moment to put all the ideas together and recharge my creativity. Once travelling were allowed again, a small crew and I took a road trip to Carrara quarries, awared of remotely filming during a streaming connection with the German director Werner Klemm.

When on site, our contact (an Israeli fixer) walked us all around the place, creating a connection between Leelee Chan and a local sculptress.
During the three days shooting we met a variety of complexities, due to the magical but still unpredictable, quarry world. The sloping path between our destination really put us in danger while moving around with our cross over Jeep.

However, on the other side, Carrara Quarries have been an incredible scenario which gifted us breathtaking aerial footage and wonderful portraits, taking advantage of the natural marble emerging from the white cliffs all around us.”
