YĪN YĪN's 'In Search Of Yang' Music Video Premieres with Cinematic Kosovo Shoot
A new music video for YĪN YĪN's track 'In Search Of Yang' premieres, directed by Sharif Abd el Mawla and produced by Bonkers United in partnership with new-land. The film features actor Sam Spruell (known for Fargo and The Hurt Locker) and Pristina-based actress Erza Sejdiu, who perform choreography by Mès Lesne without dialogue. Shot in a single intensive day, the production utilized the gritty streets of Pristina and the brutalist corridors of the Grand Hotel in Kosovo, with cinematography by Daan Bukman. High-fashion sensibilities were brought by designer Jose Tirado, while the band's performance was captured separately at Muziekgieterij in Maastricht. The video explores themes of human movement and the search for a soulmate through physical expression, creating a visual world that blends reality with musical transformation.
