Just a few days ago everyone was going crazy over Kanye West’s latest video/painting for his latest single ‘Power’. The video is absolutely striking, interesting and phenomenal! Mr. West definitely knows how to turn it up a level when he knows his fans are expecting a lot from him. Check out the video below
As great a star Kanye West is it’s always interesting to catch up with the person who made his vision a reality. Marco Brambilla (the director of the phenomenal piece) told Cool Hunting:
“To me “Power” was about a symbol, an icon of power about to fall, like an emperor about to fall. That’s when I thought I’d like to do a sort of moving portrait, a video portrait of Kanye as an authority figure in a moment when everything is about to collapse. I wanted to make it really sensual and use a lot of baroque imagery that I had used in “Civilization” and create this kind of decadent imagery around him and have all the decadence and sexuality and excess conspire against him. By the end of the video there’s a change in his position. So his position is compromised at the end of the video.”
