INSIDE THE MAKING OF A MUSIC VIDEO
we speak to award-winning director owen brown on the occasion of his latest short film, which premiered on designboom earlier this week. part art film, part documentary short, it chronicles the creation of the largest temporary land art installation in arizona's history, a collaboration between american artist jim denevan and the navajo nation, realized for the music video of 'moving on' by pop-rock band A R I Z O N A. 'the land art we made is the second-biggest piece of land art in arizona history,' brown tells us, 'the only land art that’s bigger in the state is james turrell’s roden crater.' read our conversation in full here, and discover more recent interviews here.
