Mykki Blanco takes the starring role of a modern day Joan Of Arc in a powerfully confrontational video that has clear parallels to "Like A Prayer" but without any hint of camp or melodrama.
Warning: This video might trigger photo-sensitive epilepsy, and it's billed as a "Pornhub Production," which may trigger something else entirely. Otherwise the content is an avant-garde fashion extravaganza, with with VFX that land somewhere between Fractals and Datamoshing, plus a VR angle.
Some things never change... Not for those who were different in high school, not for star-crossed lovers, and especially not for Mykki Blanco in this epic tale of love/loss.
Matt Lambert, director: "To me the film is nothing more than a story of love and hate. It's a love story wrapped in the cyclical nature of conflict that humans seem to thrive on. It's a story of the moral relativity and polarizing forces of humanism and a simultaneous misanthropy that seems to live in all of us."
The news intro gives you a taste of the hell that is Los Angeles gangland, but things get more immersive when the gender-bending artist Mykki Blanco walks you through the sex, the drugs, the violence and the danger.
Mykki Blanco — who EW describes as "multi-gendered" — is a perfect subject for this literally two-faced video concept that plays like an alien version of Fight Club.
