Spanish band Begun hired Borja V. Conde to create a music video for a track called “San Francisco.” But before the scheduled shoot Conde had a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which he decided to take as inspiration for the new work and share his experience with the viewer. Here is him describing “San Francisco” and the slightly not-safe-for-work vid is below the fold:
Repeated episodes of dizziness made my doctor decide that I was suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: a constant spinning sensation and sudden visual disturbances towards nearby moving objects. ‘San Francisco’ video clip captures the kaleidoscopic and blurring world that I was forced to inhabit the week just before shooting it. Up went down, straight flowed curved and rectangles melt oblique. My magnifying eye got lost in the labyrinth of my inner ear.
