An emotionally charged life-sized chess standoff for the Polish producer's latest
Director Piotr Matejkowski explains the vision behind Polish producer Duit's latest video for his track with New York-based singer Govales:
"We wanted to create something that was a cross between a Western and opera; to develop a story based on contrasts—close to theatre aesthetics, but very evocative, clean, legible and refined.
"Location played an important role. The futuristic, post-industrial concrete walls of the former Institute of Power Engineering in Warsaw serves as a monumental space for events that are about to happen."
