The Ball (Official Video)

“The Ball“ is out now! Human Safari drops July 23 on Mute Records - “The video was shot and directed by the Polish director/ cinematographer Kristof Gerega. We met in Berlin, and shortly after he came to visit us in the mountains of Andalucia, Granada. We shot the film over a weekend in between stealing oranges from the side of the road, swimming in the Alboran sea, running around with the (then puppy) Olive, and borrowing a horse from the husband of the lady that worked in the local grocery corner shop. The Ball is about the chase. We wanted to create an atmosphere of urgency at a steady pace. Something fast in slow motion. Like the speed of everyday life, in contrast to the steady pace of a human lifetime. It goes slow, but fast at the same time. The horse idea was derived from my childhood memories of riding horses. I thought it could fit as the song has some influences from western cowboy movies. Filming me on the horse was pretty crazy, as it had been ten years since I sat on a horse, and I had totally forgotten about galloping. For the slow motion idea to work, the horse had to run pretty fast. I was holding on for my life!“ - Nora
