LONO 'Twerking On Mars' by Boris Thompson-Roylance

Lassamie Prasimay - 24th Sept 2018

'Karoshi' - the term for “death by overworking” – has become a major epidemic in Japan, caused by the pressures and strain of living in a society of extreme overwork. And Boris Thompson-Roylance's video for LONO's Twerking on Mars depicts the physical and mental suffering of getting trapped in this vicious circle.

With shaky camera movements, dark cold grades and striking blood red captions scrawled over the screen, the visuals were inspired by the photography of documentary filmmaker Allegra Pacheco, resulting in a crossbreed of documentary, music video and short film.
