SCHWER

(Paul Kalkbrenner)


When Paul Kalkbrenner – one of Europe’s biggest EDM heavyweights – asked for a music video, I wrote a concept around the German word Fremdkörper (“foreign body”). Instead of writing a narrative, we composed each scene like a painting – evolving from the mundane into surreal absurdity with every revisit. Rather than using actors we used 4D-volumetric scans of more than 40 people – including the artist himself.

Agency: Mother
Directed by Jovan Todorovic.

I also did come up with the album cover. Playing in the field of hyperrealism I took one shot of the making-of and stylized it. And it made the album cover.
