Anadol & Marie Klock – an unfortunate encounter between pigeons and various people
All stills are from “Quand le grenier aura pris feu”, directed by Utku Önal.
When Anadol and Marie Klock released their collaborative album „La Grande Accumulation“ last fall, Kaput was beyond excited. We even traveled all the way to Istanbul to breathe in the air and experience the waters that inspired the duo to create this fantastic album—and while there, we conducted an interview.
That said, we are more than happy to present the brand-new video for their single “Quand le grenier aura pris feu” today. Director Utku Önal shared the following information with us:
“For me, the video depicts an unfortunate encounter between pigeons and various people, each experiencing their own reality. I was inspired by individuals I observed on the Berlin S-Bahn and U-Bahn, who would fall asleep between stops. The meaning behind the pigeons and the encounter is open to interpretation, much like the moods of the sleeping passengers. I anticipate that different viewers may perceive it in different ways. The video took about four months to produce, with Berlin and Paris serving as the primary locations, though there were some exceptions.”
But don’t just take our word for it—see for yourself.
PS: „Quand le grenier aura pris feu“ has already been nominated for the MuVi Award 2025 at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
