The american singer and songwriter Julianna Barwick released the album Will in 2016. The single Nebula, features a video clip directed by Derrick Belcham and was shot in the iconic Glass House, designed by Philip Johnson and completed in 1949. The project, a paradigm of transparency and minimalism, was built on top of a hill in New Canaan, Connecticut.

The director, Derrick Belcham, creates a ghostly atmosphere in Nebula's music video through a light installation inside the house to play with the shadows in space. The visual narrative uses the clear glass exterior to capture the structure at night, constantly exploring the relationship between light and dark.
 
The scenography of Julianna Barwick's music video shows the modern and contemporary sculptures and the simple interior design of the Glass House. The visual narrative captures the lively reflections of the clear glass, including those of the trees of the surrounding landscape.

The ambient music Nebula is minimal and intimate such as the Philip Johnsons's project. Synths and gentle half-awake vocals creat a celestial feeling and a hypnotic fog.
