Polyna 'TIGER' by Ekaterina Belinskaya
Cat Velez - 8th Apr 2016
Siberian singer Polyna makes a striking impression in the video for TIGER, as a vulnerable waif incarcerated in a fearsome place, but nonetheless capable of a giving a powerful pop performance – and looking amazing.
Directed by Ekaterina Belinskaya, and shot at the location of Archstoyanie - a Russian arts festival that's been likened to Burning Man - this combines grittiness with a slick pop aesthetic, with the choreography and styling by the artist herself.
Polyna, whose previous video for Angel was directed by Dawn Shadforth, says: "This video is very personal - after being through some tough times I felt like I was stuck in a cage... Through this video I wanted to release myself from my fears and become truly free.
"We made it in a very unique place called Archstoyanie. The whole environment you see in the video is real - no graphic used at all! The whole process was so fun and crazy, a 20-hour non-stop shoot and a team of like-minded people. Really, what can be better?"
