Watercolours, Pazzida

Watch the brand new video from Watercolours (Chelsea Jade Metcalf) - Pazzida - directed by Alexander Gandar.

"In its entirety I see the video as an exploration of sculptural aesthetic. Each element was sculpture but rather than those elements being raw materials, they were everyday 'normal' objects. Chairs, clothes, people, Chelsea herself," says Gandar.

Metcalf continues: "I think a curious little narrative has emerged where all of the characters are witnessing something or headed somewhere that we are never privy to. I think it speaks about lateral thinking."

Producer: Tom Townley, Director of Photography: Tim Flower.
