"Milk Teeth" Video Director
Danakil aka Cyrille de Vignemont, Director/Photographer.
Since 2005, Danakil's photographs and video-installations have been shown at the French Art Is Not Dead exhibitions in Europe ; at the Lyon Biennale ; at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Shanghai ; at Agnes B., Hong-Kong ; at the Teen/Spirit show in Melbourne ; and in Paris at Galerie 208 and at the Palais de Tokyo. Since last year, he has directed music-videos for The Micronauts, The Penelopes, Y.A.S/Mirwais, Poni Hoax, Mohini Geisweiller... His video for Poni Hoax’s Antibodies was featured at the the 19th Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase during Cannes Lions 2009. Danakil also won the Best New Director Award at the Antville 2009 Music Video Awards, and The Best Narrative Video Award in 2010 for Milk Teeth by Mohini Geisweiller. Click on Danakil's photograph above to got to his site for more information. ____________________ _____________________ Parisian Singer Mohini Geisweiller(and a creepy thing on the floor, may be her inner turmoil) From the Director, Danakil: "In a house surrounded by trees, Mohini hyperventilates into a paper bag to calm her anxiety - she is being haunted by Christlike visions, vodka drinks, and a projection of her soul as a strange creature. Alone in a car with this surreal shape of her vital bodily functions, she attempts to escape her darkness." Yikes! And we thought the Germans were twisted. Mohini is a Parisian singer, recently championed by fashion designer Mark Jacobs, who named her one of his "It Girls" for 2011. She hasn't really broken in the U.S., and it is hard to imagine that her brand of low-intensity techno purring really has a place in the U.S. market. That's okay though. Her soundtrack is entrancing even if you don't look at the video, like Hamburger Helper without the hamburger. But you add in that beef and you've got...I'm not sure. Check it out.-RAR

Mohini GesweillerIf "Milk Teeth" didn't satisfy your need for low intensity techno, check out "Sex in Dallas", which features the Mark Jacobs model having a hard time escaping a photographer to get dressed for the video.
_______________ Alka BalbirWhile we are reviewing the music stylings of 2011 "It Girls" (see Mohini Geisweiller above), why not an offering from Alka Balbir, another of Mark Jacob's selections. The Louis Vuitton model is also a film and stage actress, as well as a singer. |
