Visionist releases new video Value

Visionist, real name Louis Carnell, has shared a Frederik Heyman-directed visual for his latest single Value.

The track is from his second full-length, released in October via Big Dada. The visual for Value premiered at a Simple Things panel with The Bug, Coldcut and Ninja Tune this year.

On the video, the producer said in a press statement, “Value initially deals with the issue of self-struggle, and those actions internally but also externally that have caused this torment… The overcoming of this is one of self-preservation and self-saviour. I wanted to work with Frederik as he deals with the perception of realness, something I deal with within my own anxieties, creating and believing in situations that haven’t even happened yet.”

To create the visuals, Heyman “focused on historic press images of people in the need of rescue”. He explains, “Visionist then reenacts these situations via numerous 3D scans that are processed into several digital installations, maintaining the original photographic stillness that is key to my work.”
