Op een met klimop begroeide muur zit Rasmus Kofoed, chef van Geranium in Kopenhagen – een van de beste restaurants ter wereld. Wat al deze portretten gemeen hebben, naast een gevoel van intimiteit en nabijheid, is één terugkerend element: een glas.

Zo legt Gérard-Philippe Mabillard zijn vrienden en kennissen vast – stuk voor stuk prominente namen uit de wereld van film, kunst, mode, design en cultuur.

Mabillard begon zijn carrière als creatief professional, voordat hij directeur werd van de non-profitorganisatie Vin du Valais. In zijn werk fungeert het glas – gevuld met wijn of water – als verbindend element tussen de geportretteerden: een krachtig symbool voor vriendschap, ontmoeting en gemeenschap.

Met dit fotografieproject draagt Mabillard bovendien actief bij aan Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia, waarmee het project niet alleen esthetische, maar ook maatschappelijke waarde krijgt.
