PIC: Still From Kanye’s “Power” Video

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The NY Times’ ArtsBeat blog got a early preview of the video for “Power”, which was created in collaboration with artist Marco Brambilla, and it sounds like it’s going to be a doozy.

In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Read more, including comments from Mr. Brambilla, at the link below. And remember, it’s not a music video it’s a “video work that’s been commissioned by Kanye to accompany the music”.

Video: Blitz The Ambassador – Something to Believe

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Directed by Terence Nance, the film addresses the detachment we all battle, when faced with the the world’s overwhelming issues. “It’s hard to think about all the problems in the world without getting a little overwhelmed. So, a lot of times we just ignore things. I think Africa has suffered a lot because people choose to remain ignorant, rather than address the issues that are right in front of our faces,” Blitz said.
