From the Album Hello Cruel World (1988)

Chris Knox's grungy collage-style clip suits this mournful Tall Dwarfs song perfectly. The video offers varied images of what “turning brown” might mean — from a deep tan to race-swapping. The shot of Knox's daughter Leisha as a toddler, with the scratched in message "there is always hope" gives the clip a surprisingly poignant ending. In the second part of his ScreenTalk interview for NZ On Screen, Knox recalled that a technical problem led to one of the clip's most distinctive features: he scratched directly onto the film, in the style of his hero Len Lye.
