The latest in a series of exquisitely choreographed videos released in tandem with Nakano’s forth-coming album, ‘Near-Perfect Synchronization’ was shot by Seroussi on location close to Paris, with hip hop-trained, contemporary dancer Dianor dwarfed by his vast surroundings as he dances through a large-scale auction of heavy plant machinery.

Speaking about the making of the video, Seroussi says; "Koki really wanted to work with Amala Dianor. We met all together and Amala told me: "I like your work but you seem to like to contain the people you shoot, inside structures etc …”.

It made me laugh and I thought he was right. So for this project, I decided I will give him as much space and freedom as he needed. I remembered this amazing location in Normandy and we all agreed on shooting there.

I have a fascination for machines and metal and felt it would be a great match with the track. I loved the idea of shooting Amala dancing alone among thousands of perfectly-stored, unused machines."
