EVELYN AVENUE - Woman’s Picture/Tableau DE Parfums

Woman’s Picture is a cycle of interrelated films inspired by the classic women’s films of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, and the childhood memories of filmmaker Brian Pera. The stories in the cycle focus on the subjective experiences of central female characters. The Woman’s Picture films are the centerpiece of the website Evelyn Avenue, which features a blog, related video content, interviews and a collaborative fragrance line with Zurich perfumer Andy Tauer called Tableau de Parfums. Woman’s Picture attempts to initiate a dialogue about gender, identity, and memory. The creation of perfumes inspired by female subjects and their narratives encourages engagement with their stories in a new way, as each fragrance takes its inspiration from a different character presented in the series.
