LOU (2019)


Joaquin Phoenix stars alongside Sasha Frolova in "Lou"
Published on Nowness



LA-based photographer and filmmaker Clara Balzary has made a reputation for exploring the majesty hidden in everyday banality. Her work, wrapped in a softly romantic hue, finds dynamic form in this atmospheric new film—an exploration of identity within the liminal space between girlhood and what lies beyond it. Featuring Sasha Frolova, Odessa Young, and Joaquin Phoenix, it's a murky piece of chiaroscuro topped off with searing stabs of neon.

"Lou is at a loss for any clear example for how to be," explains the image-maker who has previously worked with the likes of Dazed, Adidas, and i-D. "She absorbs caricatured versions of masculine and feminine, and only until she ventures out of her house toward the darkness does she begin the mine the complexities of self definition.

"Lou’s experience aims to mirror the vastness and thrill of the teenage experience, and the particular weight of constructing an authentic idea of 'self' within the female gaze."

“Tabula Rasala”, Björk new music video is a true visual poem



Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

  Björk


Björk just released her new music video for Tabula Rasa from Utopia album (2017). Her new creation is surely made to enjoy our neurons, celebrating oxygen : a poetic harmonious fight.
It was directed by Tobias Gremmler, who explained his concept: “When creating the video, I was deeply inspired by the music and lyrics of Tabula Rasa. The visual transformation of Björk into faun-like flowers and mountainous landscapes embodies the utopian concept of a harmonious coexistence between nature and human based on empathy.”
