videoKwes 'Rollerblades' by Ian Pons Jewell
In his second video for Kwes - following Bashful in 2012 - Ian Pons Jewell has created a dark and minimal theatricality around the theme of the song Rollerblades, from Kwes's acclaimed debut album ilp.It features an enigmatic dancing rollerblader - skating pro Juan Tocino - who takes a plug out of Kwes’s neck, draining him until just a pile of clothes is left. Well, we are mostly water apparently. Especially at the moment.
