a note on seraphim -
The “Seraphim” music video and the video for “Mannequin” were made in quick succession and they’re definitely both part of the same body of work -
When Anna and I first met to discuss Seraphim we realised the video was being borne of a coincidence; both of us named after our aunts who passed away. I didn’t want the video to draw on this private emotionality and the coincidences of it all too much but kept finding myself falling back into it - the song and the video not about the loss explicitly, but Anna and I have perhaps both been shaped by that, being named like that. How to remove grief from yourself, what it means to have this name, overcoming loss by sharing something with another; this video is somehow grappling with those as well as focusing on what the song sounds like and how to move to it. Ultimately the video is looking at how your body always wants to react and how you can shape it continuously away from that. -
Making this video was a catharsis and I am so honoured that Anna entrusted me with this beautiful song - that we were both able to make this together with a lot of people we love feels very special.
This video is for K & C, and for my mother
