Daniel Sannwald

Pop superstars Labrinth and Billie Eilish embrace the world of conceptual contemporary dance in Daniel Sannwald's video for Never Felt So Alone.Sannwald collaborated with&nbsp;Spanish choreographer&nbsp;Candela Capitán for the project, whose dance/performance art piece&nbsp;19762. Alone and Connected, was the inspiration behind&nbsp;the video. As in the original&nbsp;- which&nbsp;premiered at Kassel, Germany&nbsp;in 2022 - the performers (Labrinth, Eilish and other dancers) are dressed in white neoprene suits and their movements limited by harnesses and chains attached to a metal frame,&nbsp;becoming more impactful as a result.Capitán has commented that the original dance performance is a reflection how the internet&nbsp;and machines dictate our lives - and makes us both alone and connected. This idea translates extremely well in Sannwald's&nbsp;video, providing a striking visual metaphor to frame a song about a devastating sense of loneliness.It's a boundary-testing move from Labrinth, arguably bringing him more into edgier world of Billie&nbsp;Eilish, that pays off wonderfully well.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Daniel Sannwald directs a visually striking promo for Flohio.&nbsp;Jumping between burnt orange and monochromatic colour palettes, the video for Unveiled is built around distorted performance setups - arranged by ALL CHOREOGRAPHERS ARE BASTARDS - and off-kilter portraiture, producing&nbsp;a fresh and innovative aesthetic that feels just as nostalgic as&nbsp;it does futuristic.&nbsp;Cutting through trends and in complete contrast to previous visuals from the artist, this concept feels more like an American Horror Story entry than a hip-hop video, and that is said with the utmost excitement and praise.&nbsp;

Daniel Sannwald has created a performance piece&nbsp;for Warp&#39;s latest signee&nbsp;Yves Tumor that builds considerable atmosphere with the classic techniques of lighting, and simple in-camera effects.Tumor looms out of the shadows, bathed in scarlet light, sometimes distorted, as in a hall-of-mirrors, sometimes masked and interacting with other masked figures.The overall effect is haunting, mesmerising and&nbsp;visceral. It&#39;s also as subversively sensual as the title of the song: Licking An Orchid.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kelela has us under her spell throughout&nbsp;A Message, her latest promo directed by Daniel Sannwald&nbsp;(the man behind i-D&#39;s frenetic visuals for M.I.A.&#39;s&nbsp;Y.A.L.A.) and&nbsp;shot by Jake Scott.&nbsp;The video commands our attention through its staccato of poignant,&nbsp;slow-stuttering beats paired with the&nbsp;gripping,&nbsp;intimate&nbsp;portraiture of Kelela&#39;s performance.&nbsp;In the video, Sannwald&nbsp;plays with light and&nbsp;bathes&nbsp;Kelela&nbsp;in hues of red, purple and black representing&nbsp;the stage that comes before lust, the darker realisation of love.&nbsp;Capturing the moment&nbsp;Kelela&nbsp;cuts off her trademark dreadlocks, the video ends&nbsp;with the LA-based singer-songwriter being transformed into an animation manga-style character, created and directed by&nbsp;Fantasista Utamaro.A Message&nbsp;is taken from her forthcoming EP&nbsp;Hallucinogen, produced by music wunderkind Arca.&nbsp;
