Referencing gaming culture in form and content as both an aesthetic device and point of nostalgia, Yeh's video for the band Xiu Xiu's "This Too Shall Pass (For Freddy)" portrays young twentysomething life in the style of overhead "dungeon crawler" video games. The digital sprites flutter throughout each other's daily lives and dramas in a manner that evokes a cross between The Legend of Zelda and MTV's The Real World. At night the characters escape into digital dreams that eventually collide, via partying, into a surrealistic, psychedelic episode blurring the line between reality and oblivion.
A series of experimental vignettes that expound upon the dark irony of the accompanying performances from the critically acclaimed band, Xiu Xiu. From jellyfish floating in the sky to hand-drawn animation, award winning director Courtney Fathom Sell explores a variegated palette of expression. Featuring favorite tracks like Bog People, Boy Soprano, and F.T.W., the latest single from their recently released LP, Women As Lovers You Cant Hear Me is a unique and dreamlike experience from start to finish.
