On nous ment – Gérard Manset

Animated music video — 2018

In On nous ment (“They lie to us”), from his album À bord du Blossom, Gérard Manset questions the lies and illusions that run through our society. Blending satire, poetry and animation, the music video brings the singer’s words to life in a sharp, offbeat visual world.

Having discovered my work on Désintox, Gérard Manset wanted the same visual identity for his music video. I handled its graphic design, animation and direction, adapting my animated language to the music and rhythm of the song. This collaboration allowed me to extend a familiar visual world into a freer form, meeting musical creation.
