The Black Narcissus 
What a magnificent midnight ghost ride along this mesmerizing music …
Karloff, Murnau, Nosferatu, Lugosi
All my horror favourites
And you as a resurrected gothic black is beautiful madonna with Monroe mouth and dreadlocks ..
The ending was so beautiful
It must have been a whale of an experience
Still echoing along all the senses
Bravo !!!!!
Oh so glad you like it! and yes yes yes the nosferatu, Lugosi I love all that, and I just ADORE when it goes to colour and I wake up on the pavement as Burning Bush like a protagonist in a David Lynch film. He has captured exactly what I wanted to capture (even though he directed it and all the visual ideas were his in terms of the black and white etc): the claustrophobia of the haunted house aspect, but also the humour. Although I mean the project earnestly – as this song really did have a great power for me as a twelve year old as a ‘way out’, the video is obviously not meant to be taken entirely seriously. I LOVE the scenes of me just floating around Osaka – there is a real serenity to them I think, in great contrast with the torments in the black room. Everything we did was done spontaneously, but I think it is ultimately about rejection of things and coming to your own senses as YOU want to.

What Nelleke said, including the Bravo!
Thanks. It’s crazy, isn’t it?
Yes it is one crazy and wild ride!
I found it mesmerizing! Happy to see the results of all the creative work and energy.
It does definitely suck you in, doesn’t it, like a lurid disco vortex
