Gigi Moss 'Poisoned Whispers (Acoustic)' by Chris Fowles

Rob Ulitski - 16th Apr 2021

Chris Fowles directs a powerful one-shot video for up-and-coming London-based artist Gigi Moss.

Set on an underground train, the film uses in-camera tricks to transition between a fully packed train and a totally stark and isolating space, representing the lilting highs and lows of the music. 

It’s an interesting spin on the themes of the track, which explores a bittersweet story of being trapped somewhere you’re uncomfortable, and how easy it can be to return to a toxic situation. 

DoP Marti Guiver balances a sense of realism and gloomy fantasy in the cinematography, with coloured lights and a tinted green aesthetic, representing the unease and conflict the artist is feeling.

“The song struck a real chord with me when I first heard it," says Chris Fowles. "Gigi was quite keen for the narrative of the video to be contemporary and a new spin on her feelings behind the track. Her management gave us total creative freedom which was amazing. We didn’t have much time or budget, but I think we managed to pull it off."
