GRADIENT


Dance FILM
2426 SET
Los Angeles, California 2018

Gradient is a music video that visualizes sound through a choreography of falling black sand. Lines of sand descend across a linear space, placed at increasing density to mirror the rising intensity of the music and movement. The set becomes an interactive environment, with the dancer weaving in and out of the cascading lines, engaging them as both obstacle and partner. Sand is dispensed from repurposed water bottles overhead, gradually accumulating on the ground as a physical trace of time passed.
