Massive Attack’s Splitting The Atom by Baillie Walsh
Friday, 22. January 2010 - 12:46 pm
The second video to be released for a track from Massive Attack’s forthcoming new album Heligoland sees Baillie Walsh – the director of their first four groundbreaking videos, including Unfinished Sympathy – working with the band for the time in years, and testing the boundaries yet again.
He’s chosen to document a Spanish bullfight for Splitting The Atom – which some are going to find enthralling, others difficult to stomach. Baillie’s observing camera captures all the skill, grace and brutality in the spectacle – and shooting on Super 8mm renders it timeless.
