End Effect BLACKPITCH
​
Film Directed by: Karolina Wyrwal (Genre: Music Video)
"The idea for the video was to create our own artistic document of personal plastic usage. Not a critique as such. More an acknowledgement of how damn useful plastic can be, how beautiful along with how permanent and problematic.
We collected all our personal plastic for a 2 month period. We filled a room. It was a massive and sobering amount. We used most of it in the video."
