BK 'Castles & Ruins' by Willy Hajli, Poeta Visual
Rob Ulitski - 28th May 2026
Willy Hajli & Poeta Visual direct a thought provoking promo packed with stunning portraits and compositions for Brazilian artist Abibi Bakila aka BK.
The video for Castles and Ruins depicts the artist ten years on from the release of his landmark debut album. The film is a metaphorical essay on history and identity, rendering BK's trials and cosmology through multiple points of views: a dancer rhythmically conjuring protection, a warrior in eternal conflict with others, and a pregnant mother imagining the life her son will one day lead.
The monochromatic presentation and focus on atmosphere perfectly suit the concept, with superb cinematography by DoP Rafael Mattar elevating the visual even further.
