A beautifully simple illustration of Nicholas Krgovich’s track “Belief” directed by Vancouver-based filmmaker David Ehrenreich (previously featured here). Love how quietly this was shot and how, rather than over-editing, it actually lets you see dancer Christoph von Riedemann.
A series of stunning visuals for Ah! Kosmos’ track with Özgür Yılmaz by Berlin-based director and artist Harun Güler (previously featured here). Driven by the desire to capture strong images out in nature, “Wide” explores the intermingling of the elements — air, earth, fire, water — as well as the triangular relationship between the three central characters. As Güler further reflects on the project:
“The collaboration between Başak (Ah! Kosmos) and me was really seamless as we clicked immediately regarding the state of mind we wanted to achieve in this work. As a director, it is an invaluable thing to feel trusted and not being compromised within your creative process.”
