videoFor Those I Love 'Birthday' by Sam Davis
Sam Davis directs a remarkable journey through a fractured landscape of memories in his promo for Irish band For Those I Love. Masterfully executed, the video uses photogrammetry to devise a haunting black and white world, allowing Davis to explore themes of addiction, loss and memory in an extensive 3D environment. The abstract textures and surreal aesthetic of this technologically-altered world border on the uncanny valley, reminiscent of a dream that has been recorded and dismantled, leaving fragments of reality behind.
