Oneohtrix Point Never 'Nightmare Paint' by Andrew Norman Wilson
Rob Ulitski - 10th Jan 2024
Andrew Norman Wilson directs a Cronenbergian fever dream for Oneohtrix Point Never.
The video for Nightmare Paint is a celebration of understated body horror, with a uniquely twisted and offbeat concept.Â
Opening with a CD-ROM being slipped through an enigmatic wall of flesh, the abstract narrative sees an unknown man shoot lasers from his eyes, burning inscriptions and patterns onto these random disks.Â
That's about as much clarity as we're given about the idea, but as a complement to the imposing electronic track, it's a beautifully haunting vision, with an unexpected twist at the end.Â
Stunning work with a visceral aesthetic and memorable hook.Â
