Produced by Stink, this gorgeous promo for Maribou State’s All I Need reflects the complexity of a broken relationship, told through fragmented images and parallel timelines.
Conjuring the bewildering emotion-led way we hold memories of relationships and loved ones, the film comprises hazy snapshots of a couple’s domestic intimacy: kitchen confidential; high times with friends and low times trapped in corridors of confusion and conflict.
To achieve the juxtaposition of two coexisting timelines, Maestrelli built a custom zoetrope device inspired by early motion picture pioneer, Eadweard Muybridge. The zoetrope enabled one narrative to take place inside a contained, looping environment, which set out to resemble the way unprocessed emotions often linger. Meanwhile, behind it, the same setting appears as a ghostly representation of what is no more.
Bringing it to life was a meticulous undertaking. The team first shot the story on 16mm film, then printed into more than 2500 still frames, and re-sequenced it through a custom-built machine inspired by early motion picture mechanics. Shooting over 23 hours, thousands of delicate frames were replaced one by one to achieve the juxtaposition of two coexisting timelines.
The song features as part of Maribou State's recent album release Hallucinating Love.
