Art & Travel

Hosted at the Old Selfridges Hotel, the free exhibition will showcase a thought-provoking journey into luxury as imagined by 7 forward-thinking brands. By inviting a discussion on the nature and meaning of luxury, Selfridges reflects on the importance and relevance of a retail destination, in a continuously shifting appreciation of what customers recognise as a luxury product.

Louis Vuitton is giving visitors a deeply modern way of looking at travel, bringing to life a fantastical world that translates the House's vision of the future. The experience draws parallels between Louis Vuitton's emblematic styles such as the trunk and today's new classics. In this captivating installation, an abundance of crystals, vivid colours and unfamiliar species appear as you navigate the infinite possibilities tomorrow may hold.
Explore altered states of luxury by Google Pixel 2, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Thom Browne, Gareth Pugh, Byredo and Mr Lyan in an incredible one-of a kind space created by Selfridges. Entrance is free and open to all.

Time Capsule demonstrates the ways in which Louis Vuitton has anticipated the needs and desires of a changing world over 160 years. As advances in transport have accelerated our movement around the world, so Louis Vuitton has continued to address new challenges faced by travelers with imaginative and ingenious creations.

The exhibition acts as a visual timeline of the most outstanding moments in the history of Louis Vuitton, telling the narrative through six key aspects of the House: The Keys to the Codes, Journeys Around the World, Elegance in Motion, Icons of the House, Magic Malle and Artisans Room.

On May 1, 2018, Louis Vuitton launches four new titles within its Travel Book Collection illustrated by artists from all around the world.

Chinese Li Kunwu draws Cuba in a prolific and fervent style ; while the Russian Pavel Pepperstein depicts Prague filling its colourful icons with poetry and romanticism. The American Miles Hyman stages a lively Rome along with its characters and contrasts ; and the Swiss Thomas Ott criss-crosses the Route 66, and drives a sharp and dark story.

The Louis Vuitton Travel Book series is an invitation to real and virtual voyages, enriched by intellectual stimulation and poignant moments. In its pages, the illustrations of renowned artists and promising young talents tell the stories of the cities and countries they have visited, depicting each place’s varied architecture and special light, and recording the passing days and the lives of its people.

For each new title, a limited edition of 30 copies numbered and signed by the artist will be available in selected Louis Vuitton stores.

This exhibition showcases two video installations which exemplify Claerbout's practice, where the ambiguity between photography and cinema unapologetically plays with the perception and the experience of time. These works, selected from the Collection, are presented in the framework of the Fondation Louis Vuitton’s 'Hors-les-murs' program, featured within the Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Munich, Venice and Beijing.
