Wie es ist – Bipolar Feminin (music video)

„More subtle in both music and lyrics, less rough, this new single is the best example of [Bipolar Feminin’s] development. Between anger and love, the fragility of society as well as relationships, is discussed. And the strength and security that joining forces with others can provide.“

The Gap about „Wie es ist“

The music video for „Wie es ist“ by Bipolar Feminin was shot as a one-shot video in the completely darkened club location „Einbaumöbel“ in Vienna using an infrared camera and motion control.

We follow a protagonist as she enters; she seems alone, lost, before she takes a running start and lands with a courageous jump in the middle of a group of three. The camera starts moving and in a slow panoramic rotation we discover that the darkness belongs to a community. The low-light room turns the protagonists into a close-knit community, familiar with each other and the darkness around them, though the band itself becomes the final figure of light. Security transforms the „fragile system“ into the possibility of completely letting yourself go in this space, a rebellious act in itself.
