Artist Quote
An ambitious 4 part experimental video series accompanies each of the single’s releases from Motor of Love. All Directed by Chenut on an iPhone 6 in slow motion as Chenut explains, “No one can deny that slow motion is a perfect language for music videos but you have to edit a lot to recreate a new rhythm to never make it boring”. The videos all share a common thread focused on one street corner in LA with the same actors.
