Sound and Vision//David Bowie – Love is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA) (Full Video)
The release of the budget
first video for the recently released Hello Steve Reich Mix of Love is Lost was
a good example of what minimalism and good lighting can do in film making. But
today saw the release of the full length video that features a far more high
tech concept.
A virtual world is created
over the course of the video that eventually merges into the form of a man and
a woman kissing naked. Love is the theme in this digital world and just as in
any other point of his career; Bowie keeps us intrigued with modern yet
timeless renderings of his considerable work. A minimalist video uses white
walls to great effect, matching the approach taken to the parent album The Next
Day’s packaging design. Read our interpretation of the cover art of The Next
Day in our CoverART feature and be sure to check out this thought provoking
video.
