Acclaimed Norwegian avant garde pop performance artist and stage actor Nils Bech reveals an alluring new video for the album single "Glimpse of Hope". Premiered on Dazed today, "Glimpse of Hope" was described as the sound of "soaring, operatic vocals with the sound of cutting edge club music".
The video was directed by one of Oslo's most revered artists, Ida Ekblad, whose artistic practices incorporates painting, sculpture, performance, filmmaking, music and poetry. Her bold and vibrant work, often characterized by the use of found materials is celebrated as a unique take on urban folk art. Shot on location at the director's home in Ekberg, Oslo, from dusk till dawn, the intriguing and playful video features 21 year old Norwegian fashion photographer and model Jakob Landvik. Ekblad describes the concept of the video as <> and the elements that make up the film: "There is a household and time to be wasted. Playstation games, a glue-gun, lawn-mowing and ass-selfies, cigarettes, a robe, white wine, make-up, leg shaving, clear eyes and stockings" The elegant use of natural light and movement within "Glimpse of Hope" is credited to the cinematographer Cecilie Semec, whose work has featured in the Venice Biennale and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.Videos
