Felix Brady explores our sense of self in the mesmerising video for Greentea Peng's Hu Man. Spanning a series of hyperstylised vignettes, the video is packed full of iconography alluding to our sense of self and the falsehoods we have bought into as a society, and laments the way we are so reliant on our own egos. Peng explains, "The track is a war cry. Calling upon the energy of Kali Ma- ‘The Dark Mother’, to strip us from our ego, take the skin and leave the spirit and transcend the veil of Maya - The cosmic illusion. For the battleground is inside of us - between you and your ego. In Lak'ech Ala K'in” - “I am you , you are me.”The sleek cinematography - care of DoP Ben Fordesman - feels almost dreamlike in its execution, and the use of VFX to transition between scenes and characters is a characteristic Brady touch that's seamless and very effective.
