Nothing Lasts Forever

Sevdaliza × Grimes

Music video

Sevdaliza, Nothing Lasts Forever ft. Grimes

A music video built on deepfake technology, the tool usually weaponised against artists, used instead to bring Sevdaliza, Grimes, Madonna, Julia Fox and ASAP Ferg together in one space. Bodybuilders, an 80s Benz and industrial cleaning machines, shot frontal and still in the spirit of Rineke Dijkstra and the Rotterdam gabber scene. The campaign ran on screens at Times Square and Penn Plaza, NYC.

Sevdaliza, Strong Because You Are

A visual that plays like a dream about crossing borders and the adventure the word “future” holds. Rooted in a family story of a journey on foot to the Netherlands, it flips the visual language of thermal border surveillance into something human.

Sevdaliza, Homunculus

A short film offering a critical view of how Western culture looks at the pregnant body. Shot over three days in a house found almost by accident, each sequence stands for one part of that gaze.
