Vessels As Shadows - Music Video
This music video is commissioned by electronic artist MAKEUP. The dark and downbeat tones of the song were crucial in inspiring the aesthetic for the video. Topics of self identity and transformation translate through the actors on screen. Male and female, the transcendence of gender and its role in our lives. Veiled and hidden in the darkness, the movement of the bodies gives of their emotion. Sexual ambiguous, in a movement of transition between one another. During the song's climax, we see in their unveiling a new life, white and purified. Unhinged and freed from the troubles of their past identities, they are now anew and reborn. A union of two, one and the same. MAKEUP is an electronic music project created by artist Arkia Jahani. Accompanied by designer look, the down tempo sound is rich in emotion and tone. Ranging from beat driven composition to experimental mood-scapes, his music cannot be easily labeled. Rather is it an artistic journey that invites the audience to explore the sound of the future and past.
