Novo videoclip do Kanye West inspira-se na Capela Sistina de Michelangelo

Tudo bem, tudo bem... isso aqui não é exatamente uma dica de viagem, mas eu não resisti! Recebi hoje o link pro novo videoclip do Kanye West e achei in-crí-vel! Ele encomendou o vídeo ao artista Marco Brambilla - o mesmo que criou uma videoarte surreal que "enfeita" os elevadores do hotel The Standard, em Nova York.

E vocês? Gostam? Acham de mau gosto?



Kanye West POWER by Marco Brambilla (Director's Cut) from ARTJAIL

Do press release:

"The video piece premiered on MTV on Thursday, August 5th, 2010. Power is a neo-classical video tableau, a single continuous camera move from an extreme close up of Mr. West gradually revealing an epic composition showing characters and creatures surrounding him in an abstract environment - all moving in extreme slow motion. Inspired by Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, the piece depicts a faux historical moment - an empire on the brink of collapse from its own excess, decadence and corruption.

Brambilla explains, “my aim was to set the Sistine Chapel frescos in motion and populate it with characters symbolizing power in all its forms.” The mostly-nude icons (including models Diandra Forrest, Jessica White, and Irina Shayk) reference imagery from almost every historical era, surrounding Kanye in an orgy of decadence and destruction."


Marco Brambilla é representado pela galeria Christopher Grimes Gallery em Santa Monica, na California. Ano que vem o Santa Monica Museum of Art irá fazer uma grande retrospectiva de sua obra.
