OLI 'Better Than Before' by Heini Susanne
Promonews - 13th Nov 2023
The latest in a longstanding collaboration between Finnish director Heini Susanne and London-based artist OLI is an autumnal celebration of friendship and movement in a natural setting.
Susanne's video for Better Than Before - following the likes of Don't Give Up and Float - stylishly combines portraiture, fashion and dance with a cast of characters captured on wide-angled lenses to create a sense of abstraction and wit around the images.
"The video explores connectedness by playing with human bodies intertwining with each other and nature," says Heini Susanne. "With the help of our fantastic movement director Jack Traylen, we got to mould bodies into shape like sculptures.
"Talent is seen growing as part of the organic world. The steady, slow-moving parts of these human sculptures in nature are juxtaposed with fast-cut bits from a dance scene taking place in a man-made environment. The energy of the dance scene alters from calm to hectic which is reflected on camera movement and angles.
"We used mainly the LAOWA 12mm to create a world that hopefully steps away from the everyday, keeping in line with OLI's dreamy, otherworldly music."
