Broken Spirit (2006, 56.5MB, 2:34 min)
A breath of dystopian but simultaneously utterly beguiling
& charming melancholy.

Ain’t Nobody Got It (2006, 18.1MB, 1:35 min)
Two movies from Irish artist & curator Kev Flanagan.
I like them both, but there is something so utterly fuck-off mad
about the Aguilera cover, with its fine disregard to boot for any known
production value, which totally does it for me.
The performers in that are Cian McConn & Stephanie Hough
who as Margaret and Jim have their own neat line in performance…

Niles Atallah- Una belleza extraña y frágil/A Strange & Fragile Beauty.
Hagalo Usted Mismo (2007, 25.1MB, 4:24 min)
Video clips hechos cuadro a cuadro de una belleza y
fr�gil extra�eza del artista chileno Niles Atallah.
El trabajo es tambi�n de una imaginaci�n enormemente
f�rtil y singularmente libre de clich�.
Apuesto que estos fueron simultaneamente un gran
desaf�o y un placer a�n m�s grande de realizar.
�Maravilloso!!
Music videos with stop-motion work of beauty
& fragile strangeness from Chilean artist Niles Atallah.
The work, also, of an enormously fertile imagination
& one singularly free of clich’.
I bet these were simultaneously a great trial &
a greater joy to make.
Wonderful!

Geoff Mcfetridge has had his hands in some amazing things including the title sequences for Adaptation and Virgin Suicides as well as music videos for The Avalanches, Simian, and (the first video posted) Whitest Boy Alive. I came across this video on my local skate shop’s blog and was interested to find out more about the creator and stumbled across the incredibly interesting series Western State put on by Coudal Partners. The second video posted “examines Geoff Mcfetridge, his work and his moustache.” I have put the videos in this order because this is the way I viewed them and I found it was fun to watch the artist’s work and then take the time to get to know more about him. Things seem to tie themselves together nicely that way.
