Set and costume design for a theatrical music video, whose narrative explores the relationship between a female character and a broken piano. The concept consists of two parallel spaces where the agency of inanimate objects becomes clear through a performative blurring of boundaries between body and environment. A costume built of piano pieces allows the body to extend and interact with its environment of piano strings, as one complete system.
