A metronome ticks. Vines stretch out into the distance. The curtain rises as Lady Gaga, cultural tour de force, platinum blonde hair immaculately coiffed, sits alone in a darkened room and puts pen to paper, writing the first notes of a melody. The piano sounds, and a troupe of statuesque dancers spring to life in the time-worn cloisters of a French monastery. Dressed in a diaphanous blue-grey gown, Lady Gaga gestures and the ensemble follows, motioning in unison towards the heavens. The strings build and, as the music crests, three dancers ascend above the spire of the church.
So goes the short film that forms the crux of champagne house Dom Pérignon's second collaboration with the singer, this time with the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 at its heart. Shot by French music video director and singer-songwriter Woodkid in a palette of stark monochrome interspersed with sparse colour, and featuring visceral, balletic performances created by decorated Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, it underlines the message at the core of the brand: that the act of creation is the result of passionate, unremitting work rather than a singular flash of inspiration.
The labour of creation, Gaga tells Tatler in the penthouse suite of the West Hollywood Edition in Los Angeles, means "that you need to work hard. Without being too crass, it's not just about taking a photo with your iPhone. You have to put in the work. This campaign was about those of us who have made it our life mission. That's all we do. I spent all day today making art, all day-it is a labour of love. And I think it's important to do that because it's a real privilege to make art."
