This artistic and fascinating choreographed dance video is meant to evoke the moving legs of a centipede, frantically yet rhythmically moving across the screen. The black and white aesthetic adds to the drama of the motion and photography.
Pairing sharp editing cuts with dancer movement and hypnotic ferrofluid, we feel part of the music. Entrancing, to say the least.
Reminiscent of a ’90s era Bjork aesthetic, the video is brought to you by Symbion Project + tawnylawns.
“The production on “Blue In The Mouth” has an almost creaturely feel to it, so I approached [filmmaker/choreographer] Kaia Olsen wanting to build insects out of bodies.”
