Rone 'Mirapolis' by Aurelie Castex

The latest video for French electronic producer Rone (aka Erwen Castex) is for the title track of his 2017 album Mirapolis, and has been created by his sister, director/illustrator/designer Aurelie Castex. It's also a delightful thing - a hand-drawn journey via paper plane to the party going on at the other side of the universe.

it has the immutable quality of a classic illustrated children's book. A French one, of course.

AURELIE CASTEX:

“In infinite space, a tiny woman pilots a paper plane. On the Mirapolis planet, among a crowd of burlesque characters, a man swallows it by accident. He finds himself instantly tiny on his turn. 

“Then begins for him a crazy race. He will cross giant shoes, dive into the seabed of a tin can, will climb on a planet that smokes a pipe… until a big party in which a merry and motley crowd dances on the shoulders of a giant: Rone.”
