Bjork - Pagan Poetry (Official Video)
Directed By - British Fashion Photographer Nick Knight
*This video contains scenes of nudity
This video traces Bjork’s body in extreme close up before zooming out to reveal her standing topless in an elaborate dress. The flow back and forth from animation to the artist’s body are smooth and almost seamless
Explosions In The Sky - The Ecstatics (Official Video)
Directed By: Hayley Morris
This director uses traditional animation techniques such as stop-motion and hand-drawn visuals to tell stories that unfold through layered textures. This stop-animation works perfectly along with the song.
Max Cooper - Origins (Official Video)
Director: Tim Dee of Rabbit Hole
Such a simple yet complex concept. This video is part of Cooper’s audiovisual show, which examines how everything comes from (almost) nothing - how simple laws create complex, fascinating and beautiful outcomes.
Lea Porcelain - Similar Familiar (Official Video)
Directed By: Unknown
*This video contains scenes of nudity
This video shows various shots of a figure dancing/moving. The choice of black and white really adds to the mood. A very DIY feel that’s dark and hypnotic.
Robyn - Call Your Girlfriend (Official Video)
Directed By: Max Vitali
Robyn, dancing on her own in a warehouse in one take. The camera follows her as she expressively dances around the room. High energy and fun…..not to mention it makes us want to dance in the office!
