Film titles we did for my friend, Lesly Lynch.
Exploring themes of gender identity, physicality, and love, Trip focusses on three characters exploring the Parisian underground. Part documentary, part fantasy, we follow their drug-fueled journeys as they find like-minded people, and the courage to be themselves.
Using transparent mannequins to represent archetypal body forms, we shot purposefully abstracted images that force the viewer to question what is male or female. The empty forms gradually fill with smoke and colored light, representing the idea that your physical form is merely the container for your true self. The male and female body parts fluidly blend together to form psychedelic and ‘trippy’ club-like visuals.
