Skin - Alaskan Tapes
“Beyond the sea a lover’s call,
Her footsteps stretched onward.
Along the horizon lays a man
Covered in thin skin.
A father left derelict under the lighthouse’s gaze.”
2/3. Death (An Old Folk Tale)
Beyond the sea a lover's call,
Her footsteps stretched onward.
Along the horizon lays a man
Covered in thin skin.
A father left derelict under the lighthouse's gaze.

The second instalment of Toronto-based filmmaker Andrew De Zen’s 3-part series, created for Alaskan Tapes’ album, You Were Always An Island. Shot on 35mm to maximize the minimalist approach with the bolder, iconic imagery of a lone figure gazing out into the water.
“Those stories normally revolve around a tragic figure or event and so we wanted to lay it all out in front of us and strip things bare to its most simple, most reserved point. Becoming observers to something that is kept mysterious yet feels like it has deep roots in its own lore and history. The whole album has this ambient minimalist approach and the visuals needed to echo that feeling.”
