Created entirely as a Cubist, moving collage, the visuals for “Yā snīn hubbī” were a long-distance collaboration between oriental-jazz-rock quintet, SARĀB, and New York City based video artist, Nic Koller, during worldwide lockdowns for COVID-19. Shot in Paris by SARĀB and cameraman, Guillaume Muschalle, while following detailed instructions and sketches provided by Nic, this art film explores love as a haunted game of hide and seek, a world falling to pieces when love is lost, and human connection over great distances.

Made in collaboration with Sarāb, Guillaume Muschalle & Akakir Studio
