Mike Mills
Mike Mills realizó cuatro videos “experimentales” para Blonde Redhead. Son sumamente extraños y requieren de mucha interpretación del público. Una onda de aquellas en la que al final uno no está seguro de que haya algo que entender.
The first song I heard was “23″. It was so big and so unafraid to be beautiful - what could be the visual analog to that hugeness? I felt that Blonde Redhead had found their own personal way to the ingredients of a popular song - the way nutritionists use proteins, carbohydrates, sugars and vitamins and our bodies can’t help but respond. I thought of the elements I use in music videos: a story, an emotion, dancing/movement, a magical transformation. I chose not to compete with the richness of the sound but to explore poverty. What if I only had one element? How could I reduce that element to it’s composite parts? Could I reduce that again? If I kept reducing, would I get to the hugeness of the music? Could this be the way to visualize the hope for love and transformation that I feel in the music?

Qué bonito regalo para los que somos admiradores de este trío. Gracias, Elvis.
Es curioso, pero los letreros que aparacen en pantalla durante toda la rola de ‘Silently’ son la descripción literal del clásico y polémico video de ‘Like a Prayer’ de Madonna.
