Audrey Nuna 'Locket' by Valentin Petit
Rob Ulitski - 4th Oct 2023
The sensational promo for Audrey Nuna's Locket, in which the US rapper/singer takes centre-stage in a gripping art gallery concept, was Valentin Petit's final project before his tragic death earlier this year. Posthumously released, its now it has been recognised at this year's UK Music Video Awards with four nominations.
The video takes place in a stark white gallery space at a private view, where Audrey is the statuesque figure observing the mini-vignettes unfolding around her, featuring a variety of larger than life characters with one thing in common - they are all too self-absorbed to pay attention to the art in the gallery.
With brilliant camerawork, great casting and unbounded dynamism to go with the high concept playfulness, Locket exemplifies the character of its creator - who is properly acknowledged at the very end of the video. It's breathless and brilliant, as it takes you on a terrific journey.
A tour de force of creative magic, it cements the legacy of Valentin Petit as one of the industry's most accomplished voices.
