"kaputt" - musicvideo

mixed media project with CRT scans

The project is a study in deliberate degradation: what started as pristine digital footage was dragged through the mud of analog decay, re-scanned off flickering CRT monitors, and captured again through the gritty lens of Hi8 camcorders.

Shot between the architectural weight of Musikhalle Ludwigsburg and the claustrophobia of private studios, the result is a suffocating, distorted aesthetic that perfectly mirrors the track’s narrative. The visual centerpiece is a haunting, skeleton-like silhouette wrapped in industrial foil—an unrecognizable figure locked in a glitching, physical battle with itself before the eternal void. By the time the shattered plastic symbolism hits in the final frames, the medium itself feels as broken as the message in the song.
