Nirvana

[Ksenya Samarskaya]

The visuals for Nirvana are both a throwback and futuristic. An off-the-beaten-path seventies cult, reborn with more technology and burnished lines. They straddle the unfamiliar. The video Anthony Vernery and Hugo Dumont captured it in nods to Michel Gondry, to not-quite Švankmajer. To a past visual of an imagined offshoot future. Plopping Nirvana on a book cover is a done-deal design, a travelogue toward elsewhere or elsewhen.
