Having fled to the forest, people are missing the&nbsp;life they led before their flight,&nbsp;in Neil Dowling's visual for Nina Hynes.&nbsp;The&nbsp;video for Go - which plays on a theme of isolation in an uncertain time - was shot in the forest at Songsvann, Oslo, under social distancing conditions. Depicting a trio of characters trying to find a sense of normality in very abnormal times, there is a haunting undercurrent of uncertainty and fear, whilst being punctuated with moments of hope and new perspectives.&nbsp;The use of movement is inspired, as the characters mime through everyday routines and tasks - cooking, cleaning, dancing. These scenes are&nbsp;surreal and melancholic, but dig a little deeper and it could be suggested that this is 'muscle memory' - the characters each keeping their skills sharp ready for a move back into society, and back to 'normal life'... if such a thing&nbsp;exists anymore.&nbsp;

Seoul-based directed team Neil Dowling and Nils Clauss were one of the winners of Royksopp's recent music video competition for the Senior album, with their wonderful video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=oybfhxMZxbU" target="_blank">Senior Living</a>. 
Their new one was also for a music video competition, organized by !K7 Records, for Wolf + Lamb's Lonely C. This time they have left the big city for the Korean countryside, and used non-professional actors to create another love story. A rather controversial one, in fact, which may explain why they didn't win. It is indeed a strange work - an arresting combination of reality and complete unreality.
"The video shoot took place on a small farm in Jeollabuk-do province, South Korea in February 2011," explain Neil and Nils. "The storyline was conceived in response to the song lyrics which tell of an unrequited love or a longing that can't be satisfied or consummated. We came up with the concept of a brother and sister who are twins who have grown up lived and worked together on their parents' small farm. They are confused and disturbed by the fact that their closeness has developed into a kind of sexual longing that they know they must hide away deep inside."
