“Immune”: Floria Sigismondi
Floria Sigismondi is an Italian-Canadian photographer, director, and filmmaker who breaks the boundaries between mainstream and alternative visual culture. She has worked with many high-profile artists on their music videos, including Björk, The Cure, Marilyn Manson, and The White Stripes. Her personal projects and commercial work both amaze me with their preternatural beauty and color.
Floria’s vivid, hallucinatory images are morbid, beautiful, and hyper[sur]real. Her works take place in a strange, artificial, and gorgeously colorful world of her own – film stills from her videos could be taken for photo-art and vice versa.

CocoRosie – Gallows
This is the lovely video for the song “Gallows” by the band CocoRosie. Now one of my favorite music videos.
If you like this, also check out their video for “Lemonade.”

The Inner Kingdom
This is the video for the song “t” from music project iamamiwhoami (Jonna Lee). It reminds me a little of the film version of Where the Wild Things Are. She has the most expressive hands.
“I suppose the crowns…have something to do with autonomy and the inner kingdom.”
- Chris Con Askew, on religious imagery in his artwork
Another awesome music video, from Fever Ray:

Sil van der Woerd’s Music Videos
Dutch filmmaker Sil Van Der Woerd makes beautiful, surreal, and extremely impressive music videos on unbelievably tiny budgets. These videos contrast industrial, futuristic, black and sterile environments with the soft beauty and grace of the subjects, and historically inspired fashions.
Check out his videos for Lolly Jane Blue’s “Worms” and “White Swan”:
