Mathieu Cesar's Black & White portraiture brings emotion and character to photography by combining shadows, light and contrast. With his retro-futuristic style, he is one of today's leading lighting experts, capable of capturing the essence of each subject. Mathieu Cesar is also a lifelong car fan.
Mathieu Cesar delved into the Alpine universe to capture an entirely monochromatic car. The vehicle becomes a veritable work of art when stripped of all its colour. The purity of black and white and the range of greys and chromes refine every line and detail.
The A110 S revealed in Black & White: a hypnotic and timeless design
The Alpine x Mathieu Cesar collaboration was conceived and developed as a co-creation, combining the artist's intentions with the brand's savoir-faire. The Monochromatic project offers an automotive vision in which simplicity becomes synonymous with sophistication.
The monochromatic design accentuates the timelessness and sleek curves of the iconic A110 S while highlighting its power under the bonnet (300 bhp, 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, power-to-weight ratio of 3.7 kg/hp). Inspired by the iconic Berlinette, the design of the A110 S is a synthesis of sportiness. Sketched in a single stroke, it matches the mechanical components as closely as possible, revealing an assertive character for road and track driving.

00:00The roads stretch like infinite ribbons,
00:06winding through imaginary landscapes.
00:11Its engine roars in harmony with the soft murmur of the wind,
00:16creating a mechanical symphony that shakes my mind.
00:21Its elegant profile, carved by the wind,
00:26makes the air with grace and nobility.
00:33The sun plays with the shadows,
00:36creating ephemeral frescoes on its body.
00:43It has the raw beauty of a legend and shame.
00:49Its elegant profile, carved by the wind,
00:53makes the air with grace and nobility.
00:58Echo of a glorious past,
01:01the spirit of competition is engraved in its soul.
01:15And when the engine finally stops,
01:18leaving room for silence,
01:20the echo of speed persists,
01:23resonating in the air like a suspended melody.
01:30This black and white car then rests noble and proud,
01:35silent witnesses of the promises of dawn.
01:44Its elegant profile, carved by the wind,
01:48makes the air with grace and nobility.
