MEETSYSTEEM - ‘HEEL EVEN NIETS’
NOUS’KLAER AUDIO
2021
Art direction, styling and casting for Meetsysteem’s musical short film Heel Even Niets, set inside the strange world of a conspiracy cult hidden deep in the Dutch forests.
Following Chef, a young believer searching for meaning and redemption, the film turns paranoia, ritual and collective delusion into a visual universe of its own. For the project, I helped shape this world through its characters, clothing, objects and environments, balancing the familiar with something increasingly surreal and unsettling.
The cult becomes a reflection of the song itself: a group of people trying to make sense of feelings they cannot fully understand, searching for salvation in an enemy that may not even exist.
