Hayley Mary 'Would You Throw A Diamond' by Lucy Knox
Rob Ulitski - 24th Feb 2021
Lucy Knox directs a high energy promo for Hayley Mary, former frontwoman of iconic Australian band The Jezabels.
Shot entirely on 30 year-old short-ends of 16mm film -Â which were leftover remnants from 90s Australian tv-shows - the video sees the artist tearing up the streets in a vintage car, throwing out diamonds and jewels with little regard to their worth;Â a metaphoric interpretation of the songs lyrics.
The degradation of the expired film stock (which had been left sitting in someone's garage for decades) gives the punk track a desired grunge aesthetic, which is eagerly elevated by Mary's unabashed performance style.Â
