Null+Void feat. Dave Gahan - Where I Wait

Video description: ‘In the Null Void video, we follow a desperate character in his attempt to transcend a physical space and escape his addictions via a hallucinatory female. The environment is a dystopic, brutalist variation on an old theme: the stifled, domestic household. The refrigerator, the television, the wine bottles, and –most notably – the main character’s nonexistent female counterpart evoke this dark theme. The cold lighting, concrete floors and metal containers further elicit the atmosphere of a prison in which he tries to resist the temptations offered by his imaginary friend. The illusory female character’s performance is mostly static, as though she is another object in the room. Her eyes are glazed over in reverie, the mode by which the action will follow. These reveries take various forms, limited by the sparseness of her environment. Dave plays a kind of narrator, floating around her dreams (sometimes actually), performing the song, alluding to the twofold nature of escape.
