On the way from rebellion to liberation, Osepa wants to enchant the viewer with spirituality and mythology, coming together in Macrooy’s ‘baptism’.
Osepa: ‘The video ends in a cheerful, colorful celebration. The celebration of a new era. In my work I am always concerned with themes such as post-colonialism and resilience within the black community, so making this clip almost felt like a dream. It is great to be able to work with an artist like Macrooy. He knows exactly what he wants, and yet he has given me the creative freedom to build on what he already achieved. We have shot in the most iconic places in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, KIT and the Koepelkerk, with a fantastic crew. ‘
