Aaken’s fourth music video, Un Espace Vert is now available online! The video was shot in Paris and Taipei from September 2014 to May 2015. Visually inspired by the French Nouvelle Vague, lyrically inspired by Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84, the video touches a theme that is dear to Aaken: the many worlds and dimensions we live in, often unaware of them.
The music video reunites Aaken’s long time collaborators and features Bévinda, who co-wrote the song, Taiwanese actress Jasmine Wang, who already appeared in Aaken’s first MV Nothing comes to Light, Isabelle Thomas, a French actress who also sang in many of Aaken’s stage works, namely PLAY 2 PLAY and Les Contes d’Hoffmann, French pianist Vanessa Sanfilippo, Daniel Chin and Navi Matula-ian.
Shooting assistants: Aurélien Jégou, Zed Wang, Navi Matula-ian and Stéphane Sann. Editing by Zed Wang.
