Berlin-based duo Modeselektor's fifth album Extended was released in April 2021 on their label Monkeytown Records. The German duo are accompanying this release with a ‘visual album’ in film: 'Work’ stars American dancer Corey Scott-Gilbert who transposes the energy of Modeselektor’s music into a radical performance. „Created in an unforgiving year, “Work” became a refuge, a place to find solace from the outside world. The inescapable thump of Modeselektor’s “Extended” left me embodying mundane tasks so intensely that not only did these tasks become important but their original purpose was forgotten, the “doing” more significant than any result. I rediscovered the intention of simple tasks to create my reality without regard to any past. I structured “Work” in a way that asks the performer not to “perform”, but to drench themselves in a state of process. By fully embodying each task I find myself in a minefield of emotion. “Work“ is an exorcism of boredom in both its creation and in its practice. One will undoubtedly reflect and feel different from before it all began.... again again... from a lonely pew.“ -Corey Scott-Gilbert “Work“ is a film from Corey Scott-Gilbert, Krsn Brasko and Tobias Staab. ____________ Website Facebook Twitter Instagram FR Instagram DE
