Скачать или смотреть Multiple Reality Disorder by Martin Draax

This is the videoclip for my third single, called 'Multiple Reality Disorder'. Laura A Dima and I develop a Instagram Soap Opera with the title 'The Identity Machinery'. This is an ongoing photo story about a woman suffering from a Multiple Reality Disorder. Although the avatars of her character live in different realities, they managed to form a band together and this is the band you see performing in the clip.

Do you sometimes wonder what is real and what isn't? What makes reality? We live in a Post-Truth era.
Is it to maintain such a thing as 'truth', and isn't the whole idea a human concept anyway? Currently, we seem to collectively think of reality, and truth, as something we can individually make up, but aren't we all reflections of each other's minds?

On top of that, we add moral value to our own beliefs, and it's very hot to attack others for having supposed 'wrong' ideas. We scream for attention.

Our identities, our culture, our ethnicity, our sexuality, our space... everything needs a kind of respect that apparently doesn't come naturally. The ultra narcissist people that we have become form fluid tribes on social media hoping to find mutual ground, protecting ourselves from enemies we don't know or understand. In fact - do we really have enemies or do we create them by forming armies of like-minded? And isn't 'identity' confused with 'image'?

Please watch the end credits, because I am forever in debt by the people who helped me creating this.
