Kae Tempest
Music Video
I was approached by Battersea Arts Centre to interpret Kae Tempest's award winning poem Brand New Ancients. This first extract, part one, acts an introduction to Kae's vivid world and her fated characters. The poem is 'an everyday epic', so with that in mind, I was looking to show people in everyday situations with an unreal, epic edge.
