Lia Kali 'Renacer' by Ismael De La Trinidad

Rob Ulitski - 15th Apr 2025

Ismael De La Trinidad directs an arresting narrative symbolising Spanish singer Lia Kali's personal struggles against harmful forces. 

The video for Renacer transforms an empty airport terminal into an eerie stage, a metaphor for the fear and phobia that haunt the artist. In this space, that Lia confronts her own 'demoness' - a blue skinned, yellow-eyed sprite - in a visceral duel embodying the chaos of intrusive thoughts in her head.

The video immerses the viewer in an internal battle where every small victory matters: overcoming fears, pushing past exhaustion, and making peace with oneself. Blending realism with dreamlike elements, De La Trinidad is consistently inventive in exploring the contradictions swirling around the human mind.

Both the spectacular SFX makeup work of the malevolent demoness and richly atmospheric cinematography by DoP Álvar Riu elevate the concept, whilst Lia's performance anchors the otherworldly into reality. It all adds up to a memorable visual for the artist.
