‘Horseplay / Hemp Stories’ by Steve MARAIS c/o 70SEVEN for LAMPOON MAGAZINE is an exploration of human connection as the ultimate expression of sustainability. In a frayed world, we tend to neglect our basic need for intimacy. We are constantly exposed to news of conflict and destruction. But what about our primal desire for harmony and each other?
Horses are magnificent and often fetishized creatures that symbolize strength and freedom. Likewise, we see models horsing around in the editorial clad in hemp clothing from Prototipo, a label dedicated to the manufacture of ethical luxury fashion. Interspersed here and there with nude equestrian interludes, but nothing out of the ordinary – after all, what could be more organic than biology itself; what more natural than free-spirited human relationships?
70seven is a full-service production company and artist management agency headquartered in Hamburg – specializing in photography and film in the areas of advertising, fashion & lifestyle : “Our main goal is to deliver bespoke sustainable production services to create unique content. We put together multidisciplinary teams and cooperate closely with brands, creatives, and advertising agencies to curate the finest collaborations for the job.” Afshin Shahinniya, 70seven.
