Against The Dying Sun
Contained within the silent echoes of a still concrete room, dive tranced with a single protagonist and the rising consciousness of his captivity. Quickly this life in an aquarium, a synthetic world designed only to flaunt his beauty, begins to crumble as he imagines what life would be like among the outside.
Directed by up-and-rising filmmaker Venus Oh, the fashion film features an exhibition of gender-bending styles from Fall/Winter ’20, with a spell-bounding soundtrack by ambient musician Kin Leonn.
