For those who have watched the movie "Casablanca" (English title: Casablanca), this business film not only won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, the editor also paid attention to the beautiful African scenery in it, and The development of the unforgettable love plot in the main axis of the movie is matched with the description of the environment at that time, as well as the ever-flowing theme song "As Times Goes By" (by Dooley Wilson), which was originally a Broadway musical in 1931. The song "Everybodys Welcome" was later selected as the second place for classic movie songs. Let us review a few lyrics first:
Moonlight and love songs – never out of date
Hearts full of passion – jealousy and hate
Woman needs man – and man must have his mate
That no one can deny……
The background of the story of The Spy is in Darel Beida, Morocco, North Africa. Its old name is Casablanca. The content of this song is actually a mourning for a relationship that ended in real life, just like the part in the movie The Spy. Love that is sacrificed under the steadfast patriotism.
Caroline Gayral is a textile designer who is good at finding all kinds of strange fantasies in daily life. She actually studied law in college. Because of her studies, she lived in Morocco, a country located in North Africa, for 18 years. The upper left corner of the figure is deeply influenced by Arab, Berber, European and African cultures. It has become a world-famous North African landscape with its unique picturesque style and magnificent color blocks. Tourist attraction.
In addition to the well-known High Atlas and Saharan Desert, the rugged coastline, waterfalls, strange caves, and endless deserts provide diverse and rich terrain. The same is true for cultural integration. Jewish, Berber, and Arab cultures were part of the peaceful blending scene in the early stage. In the later stage, European cultural influences came from neighboring Spain and France. The close proximity of the concept of the global village also led to the massive invasion of British and American culture. Like in the movie North Africa, the cultural melting pot scene in the early days of World War II reappeared. Refugees from all over Europe gathered here just to step on this springboard to freedom, and spent the first twenty years of their lives studying here. Caroline, a 20-year-old designer, must have been deeply impacted by the contradictory sense of nomadic wandering revealed in the modern environment combined with the invasion of ubiquitous modern signs. Like other traditional areas in the world, this place is famous for its diverse ethnic groups. A region that prides itself on its rich history, deep-rooted art, and varied cuisine continues to hesitate on the road to widening its gap.
When I was young, I got to know Caroline, who works in textiles and ceramics, through a chance introduction from a friend. After returning to Paris, I started to build a studio. In order to preserve the memory of the atmosphere like my life in Morocco, I also arranged There are a large number of handmade carpets and other fabric decorations, and the rest are like souvenirs placed casually after returning from a trip, randomly but not casually interspersed in every corner. The only thing that can be seen is the Parisian spirit. sprit> uses the famous local Pierre Paulin designer furniture, as well as the color blocks full of warm tones in Carolines favorite movie "Saint Laurent": Aegean blue and almond milk green interlaced color palette, the same What she misses is also the food of the Cyclades (a small island in the Aegean Sea), recipes based on wheat, olives, wine and fresh fruits. These fragments of life are also one of the sources from which she continues to get inspiration.
Perhaps inherited from her mother who is an interior designer, she has developed a hobby of touching all kinds of paints and studying various patterns since she was a child. Coupled with her experience of living in Morocco, she understands how to work in a world. From the brokenness, pick up the essence fragments that others don’t see, and have a cheerful and broad mind like a traveler traveling around without borders. Open your eyes to observe and report carefully, and then search for the historical significance and beautiful corners of each place.
