Maurice de Mauriac x photo basel 2024

From June 11 to 16, Basel became the epicenter of photography and art at photo basel, along with Maurice de Mauriac, who presented the Maurice de Mauriac Award for the second year in a row.

MAURICE DE MAURIAC’S AWARD WINNER

The winner of this year is Hayley Eichenbaum, represented by Homecoming Gallery. Hayley Eichenbaum is an interdisciplinary artist and director based in San Francisco and Los Angeles, CA. Early performative and kinetic work analyzes Western social expectations of women: How they are expected to maintain and preserve themselves.

Current digital photography work expands on notions of the veneer. The focus now on exterior architecture and curated landscape.

“It is an incredible honor to be recognized by the Maurice de Mauriac Award. I look forward to using this momentum to push forward with a new series. “The Mother Road” is the original nickname for Route 66. It was the first cross-country highway in The United States: The Mother of all highways. A powerful and feminine reference.” says Hayley.

PHOTO BASEL 2024

In this year’s edition, photo basel has dedicate a special exhibition to Basel photographer Kurt Wyss. With “Eyewitness Kurt Wyss in Dialogue with Jean Dubuffet” presenting an insight into an important phase of his photographic work.

“Beyond Photography” features a curated selection of photographic positions that go far beyond photography by using various mixing techniques, special printing techniques, or shifting from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional. Numerous different approaches contribute to an expansion of the medium of photography, and this sector dedicates itself to these innovations.

Another key point, is in the newly “novum” sector, where photo basel specifically showcases works never shown before. The “novum” positions include either completely new works or bodies of work that have only now properly brought to light.

Maurice de Mauriac and the new Chrono Modern

In a bold move that challenges conventional norms, Maurice de Mauriac proudly introduces the Chrono Modern Big Date Deep Blue, a timepiece tailored for the robust arms of individuals like Samir Leuppi.

THE PERFECT COLLABORATION BETWEEN MAURICE DE MAURIAC AND SAMIR LEUPPI

Standing at an impressive 195 cm and weighing 145 kg, Samir Leuppi embodies the essence of power and vigor. His choice of wristwear? None other than the Chrono Modern Big Date Deep Blue. Fondly dubbed the ‘beast’ among Maurice de Mauriac’s collection of watches. With a diameter of 48 mm, this watch exudes an aura of strength and confidence.

To capture the essence of strength and authenticity embodied by Samir Leuppi and the Chrono Modern Big Date Deep Blue. Maurice de Mauriac ventured into the heart of Switzerland’s wrestling community. Amidst the intensity of the wrestling ring, the sawdust and sweat. Samir Leuppi’s presence loomed large. A testament to his commanding presence both as a wrestler and as a dedicated police officer. Swiss Wrestling, also known as “Schwingen”, is a traditional form of wrestling that has its roots in Switzerland.

Originating in the Alps, this sport dates back to the 13th century and is known for its hand-to-hand wrestling techniques, where competitors try to take down their opponent by throwing them to the ground and keeping their shoulders on the ground.

Designed by Daniel Dreifuss, the 051015 dial gives both watch and owner a subtle dynamism. The dimensions of these watches and their clear edges leave no doubt: a “Chrono Modern” always adorns a strong arm.
