DENIS COLEMAN 'HALOGEN NIGHTS'

THE VIDEO THEME IS BASED AROUND A BIZARRE SOCIAL GATHERING SET IN A GRANDIOSE DINING ROOM. ABSURDIST IN STYLE, WITH A DEFINITIVE ABNORMAL VISUAL LOOK AND SYMBOLS OF MEANINGLESS EMBEDDED THROUGHOUT.

DENIS COLEMAN IS THE ARTISTE-LIKE PROTAGONIST WHO DRIFTS THROUGHOUT THE PECULIAR GATHERING, WITH A
PRESENT YET COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT DISCORDANT CONNECTION TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS. DENIS IS “WITHIN AND WITHOUT; SIMULTANEOUSLY ENCHANTED AND REPELLED BY THE INEXHAUSTIBLE VARIETY OF LIFE’ SURROUNDING HIM AT THE TABLE.

IT’S A SISYPHEAN PARADISE.

AS THE SONG REACHES A CRESCENDO - ONE OF THE GUESTS BREAKS THE SOCIAL CODE BY ‘ASKING TOO MANY OR TOO POIGNANT A QUESTION.’ A GLASS SMASHES, THE VIDEO INTENSIFIES IN PACE AND THE MOOD DARKENS.

THE VIDEO FLIPS AND THE GATHERING BECOMES THE ANTITHESIS OF A SISYPHEAN PARADISE. PEOPLE ARE ACTING UNRULY WITH HARMFUL INTENTION. WILL DENIS SUCCUMB TO HIS SURROUNDINGS?
