Squid 'Swing (In a Dream)' by Yoonha Park

Rob Ulitski - 13th Feb 2023

Our lives as humans play out on a massive, interwoven scale, in Yoonha Park's promo for Squid. 

The video for Swing (In a Dream) opens in an indoor sports court, where two men are playing basketball. A member of staff repaints the lines on the court whilst this happens, and a man walks across the court, seemingly disconnected from each other. This is where things really ramp up. 

An influx of people doing all kinds of activities - from the expected, e.g. walking around, to the unexpected, e.g. trying to swim - suddenly spills over into the court, and it's as if the controlled chaos of everyday life has been packed into this sports hall. 

It's truly mesmerising, frantic and slightly nervewracking, and the choreography of the whole thing must have been a huge challenge. It is, however, pulled off magically, with brilliant visual effects and an overwhelming sense of the uncanny, perfectly blending the real world and those in dreams. 

This is what it is to be a human - messy, fun and very much disorientating.
