Turning Brown and Torn in Two
Tall Dwarfs , Music Video – 1987
from the album Hello Cruel World (1988)My concept for that one was just to get a whole lot of single images, and have a couple of frames of each image so there would just be a constantly shifting kaleidoscope of images . . . [I decided to] go back to Len Lye, and take a feather out of his cloak, and draw on it and scratch on it — on the frames that are a bit mucked up. So I did that, and that made the clip so much better.
