Le vieux du quartier m’a dit : « N’oublie pas que la boussole a été inventée avant l’horloge parce que la direction est plus importante que le temps. »
YE IS THE ONLY ARTIST THAT PUSHES ART THIS FAR. THIS IS WHY WE LOVE HIM. THIS IS WHY HE’S THE GOAT! THIS IS WHY WE NEVER GIVE UP ON HIM. WE LOVE YOU YE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ARTISTRY. UNBELIEVABLE
If BRITAIN can be forgiven for driving the Atlantic slave trade that led to generations of torture, suffering, discrimination and displacement for black people globally. Warmongering for centuries to build its empire, massacring & substituting white supremacy in place of entire cultures at home & abroad for profit and glory, for a family of bejewelled, inbred pedophiles...
Then I think we can forgive YE, a man with a mental disorder and substance abuse issues, for having a mental break, getting back into his right mind and apologising for his words.
Bianca Censori spoke with AD Middle East about directing the music video for FATHER by Ye and Travis Scott 👀
“As my directorial debut, it felt like a natural extension of my background in architecture and performance art," she tells AD. The video's setting is the church. A centre of gravity for communities, where life's most important rituals take place; baptisms, deaths, weddings, confessions, holy communions and prayer. The world's stage. About the making of the video, Censori says that they "captured the video in a single shot, constructing a logic that could only exist within a dream, where unrelated characters, worlds and temporalities collide within one continuous space.”
She explains that “because of this, the architecture of the set was critical. A single frame had to hold and give structure to everything unfolding within it. I approached the blocking architecturally, allowing multiple scenarios to be viewed simultaneously within the same space. Every element, line, perspective, colour and texture was composed to dissolve the boundary between reality and the surreal, creating a spatial language that mirrors the logic of dreams.”
