Play Patrik is one of my coolest clients. As the name suggests, the guy has a playful approach to his music, always experimenting with different styles and languages while not taking himself to seriously. Working with him has always been good fun and has already involved shooting a postapocalyptic landscape in our fireplace or underwater scenes in a fishtank.

The latest album revolves around the conflict of different inner voices and the resulting difficulty in making decisions (Now i think about it, so does probably every pop song in the world). Well anyhow, I tried to translate this visually into a sort of handbuilt x-ray picture with a brain for reason, a heart for love and a bird creature representing the irrational gut feelings. These three protagonists would serve as single covers while the complete assembly would be reserved for the album artwork.

I got most of the raw materials from my local knitting store (except the cigarettes).The models are built with clay, felt and teddy bear eyes, the skeleton is made from transparent beads. I arranged the whole scene on three glass slabs stacked on top of each other. This prevented the elements from tangling up and shifting while also adding some depth to the photos.

My studiomate Nadine Andrey then took the pictures while I was blowing cigarette smoke in from the side after various tryouts with little smoke bombs didn’t turn out so well. For these slow swirling effects a pack good old cigarettes did the trick much better.
The result was kind of creepy, the album composition giving off a much darker vibe than the singles. But it’s nice to have bit of a counterpoint to the cuteness there. Life is, after all, a tough business.
