ABOUT

Necomer Casi’s music video for her track ‘Lion’, directorial debut by London photographer Maisie Cousins at B-Reel Films.

The video is the directorial debut of Dazed 100’s Maisie Cousins, the London-based director/photographer whose work explores the grotesque beauty of the human body. The video pairs images of conventional beauty with skin-crawling closeups of bugs and insects, with snails and centipedes crawling over Casi’s body. “I wanted it to feel almost unpleasant, a situation that you wouldn’t choose to be in,” says Cousins, “But at the same time it had to be beautiful and I think almost sensual, depending on your opinion of bugs crawling over your skin.”
