film

YODOK III, a free jazz/avant-garde band commit me to make a video music. They gave me a track and the artistic freedom to develop a concept. I choose to illustrate the song with people passing-by in a city environment seen from a fixed camera position: unknown people as unaware actors crossing the frame, we look at them for the first and probably last time. A sequence of different shots tuned on the rhythm of the music with the addition of dansers as an extra layer that creates a kind of visual disturbing element.
