URATION: 4 MINUTES
YEAR: 2022
COUNTRY: CHILE
MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE TRACK «THIN THING» BY THE SMILE, THOM YORKE & JONNY GREENWOOD’S NEW BAND. BLACK & WHITE STOP-MOTION ANIMATION, FILMED IN 16MM. «THIN THING» COMBINES FRENETIC FLUIDS FLOWING THROUGH MACHINES, BITS OF HUMAN BODIES AND THE PLANT KINGDOM WITH A DREAM THOM YORKE HAD THAT MADE HIM WRITE THE SONG.
"Featuring stark black
and white imagery that recalls the early film work of cinema legends like Georges Méliès and Louis Le Prince, the video for ‘Thin Thing’ also has a distinctive edge that incorporates elements of body horror that wouldn’t feel out of place in a David Cronenberg film.” FAR OUT MAGAZINE
