Steve McQueen is currently deciding between a few features as his follow-up to 12 Years a Slave, and today we have a project he’s completed in the meantime. Last summer at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he made the American premiere of his single, nine-minute take music video for Kanye West‘s “All Day” and “I Feel Like That,” and now it’s available to watch in full.
Following NY Times’ quote about the video, check it out below by clicking the image or heading over to Unit TV (via CoS).
Filmed in a single nine-minute take at the Chatham Dockyard in southeast England, the video follows Mr. West through an empty warehouse as he runs, crouches, dodges, raps, rants, sweats and pants, as if being pursued by the camera or the police or in pursuit himself, until he slumps against the wall to catch his breath. At several points Mr. McQueen’s focus is so tight that Mr. West’s face cuts in and out of the frame. At one point, the camera keeps its distance as Mr. West raises hands above head in a gesture of surrender. The video contains a version of Mr. West’s recent release “All Day,” which segues into another single from his coming album, currently known as “SWISH.”
Update: The video has been removed. We’ll update if it re-appears.
