Michelle Zauner:

Ever since I used to be a younger lady I’ve handled intrusive ideas of family members dying horrible deaths. When somebody is operating late or they’ve uncared for a textual content or even when they’re simply trying over a balcony, my thoughts tends to run to the worst case state of affairs, a reflex solely exacerbated by my expertise of many actual deaths. It may be each a reduction and a wrestle to like somebody who doesn’t share this similar proclivity for anxiousness. “Image Window” explores that dynamic.

We shot the video whereas I used to be dwelling in Seoul final yr. My thought was to observe a pair, continuously monitoring left to proper, as one companion costs boldly ahead and the opposite, progressively anxious, turns into more and more reluctant to observe.

Once I met Omega from Balming Tiger, I knew instantly he could be good for the primary position, his power and allure had been so readily obvious. Gyuri Kim, along with her feeling for melancholy and uncertainty, turned out to be an exquisite counterpart.

I needed this video to really feel like a brief movie, and watching it again, it’s bittersweet to look again on my yr overseas—the great folks I met, the neighborhoods I liked and lived in. The fixed monitoring from left to proper is a reminder of how time continues to go regardless of how forcefully you wrestle to beat it again or rush to get forward of it. I be careful the window because the surroundings passes, visualizing all my unlived lives swishing previous.
