Petite Noir 'Blurry' by Hector Aponysus
Rob Ulitski - 3rd Feb 2023
Hector Aponysus directs an evocative promo for Petite Noir, featuring Sampa the Great.Â
The video for Blurry sees the artist - real name Yannick Ilunga - perform in an industrial setting, whilst a series of experimental vignettes play out on-screen.Â
Shot in 16mm black and white, and inspired by the spirit of 70's performance artists such as Carolee Schneemann, Marina Abromović and the work of William Kentridge, the film attempts to capture a sense of Petite Noir's interior and exterior experiences of the world, contemplating the meaning of shadow projection and evoking visions of claustrophobic unease.
Beautifully abstract with a refreshingly inventive aesthetic, it's a brilliantly creative collaboration between the artist and director - who won the Best Live Video prize at the UKMVAs last October.Â
