This is the second video using music from my new album “Close To Home”. Musically, it’s a bit of a departure for me, but I think it works.
For this video I’ve explored a theme that has long fascinated me - Circus Strongmen, Wrestlers and Pugilists 1850-1920 and the curious relationship between hyper masculinity and homo eroticism. I’ve used original photos from the period then restored, colourised and animated them using AI. The results really do make these images more relatable - it’s easier to accept that these are not static and impenetrable snapshots from a time capsule, they were once living, breathing people.
In any case, enjoy!
