Norwegian artist Ruben is back with frequent collaborator Thor Brenne for an unforgettable study of a troubled relationship. Shot on location in Norway, Burn Down This Room depicts an abusive couple experiencing a vicious circle of violence and pain - revealed in forensic detail by Brenne, and his DoP Torkel Riise Svenson - with&nbsp;Ruben&nbsp;as the dispassionate witness. The visuals are used here as another character almost, drawing the viewer in with the beautifully framed shots and strict execution - we can&nbsp;distance ourselves from some outrageously&nbsp;malicious acts as we escape into the beauty.Almost like a metaphor for the relationship happening before our very eyes, Ruben&nbsp;stands in the middle of what is taking place. Is he the devil on the shoulders of the couple prompting their actions? In fact, a longing for peace is the running theme, and how one achieves it through reflection or chaos. The trance-like visuals compliment the impactful scenes and&nbsp;adds to the dark atmosphere that doesn't let up until the very end.[imgtoken data:1]

Thor Brenne&#39;s video for Norwegian artist Ruben centres around a female character floating between a hybrid between dreams and reality.&nbsp;Inspired by goth and occult elements, the video for Power visualises anxiety and depression through a prism of disturbing and unpleasant events. Closer to reality, the exterior sequences with nature and dance are synonymous with strength and&nbsp;shaking free from its clutches. The video is framed throughout with intercuts by an emotional performance by the artist himself.

Thor Brenne&#39;s video for Ina Wroldsen is a strikingly&nbsp;metaphorical retelling if a folk tale through dance.In Norwegian folklore, The Nokken is a lethal water spirit who lures unsuspecing humans to their deaths. For Brenne&#39;s interpretation of Wroldsen&#39;s The Sea, it becomes one of a crew of bikers&nbsp;in a house overlooking the sea, whose twisting movements resemble a whirlpool, and drive&nbsp;the bikers to destruction.&bull; Premiere via <a href="http://www.clashmusic.com/news/ina-wroldsen-tap-into-norwegian-folklore-on-sea" target="_blank">Clash</a>. &nbsp;
