SISSI RADA — SUNDAY

In this music video, Sissi Rada takes the listener on a journey through a multitude of images of a perfect Sunday: cycling, going for a walk in the woods, having a late breakfast, playing, laying in the sun. But those images are only instruments to maximize the impact of the inevitable: Monday.

Inspired by the musical interplay and the dreamlike mood of the track, we used Microsoft Kinect 2 not only as a powerful tracking-device but as an cinematic-narrative medium. Using more than 40 3D-recordings, we developed a fluid particle-aesthetic in VVVV. Millions of floating cubes morph from one object or scene to the next alongside Sissi Rada’s track.
