What sparked the idea behind Lace?
We filmed Lace in Romania on Halloween day, which felt like the right kind of coincidence. The idea didn’t come directly from the lyrics, but more from how the music made me feel. Haunting, seductive, and strange in a way that lingered.
I’d been following a dancer named Strauss for a while, and something about his presence felt magnetic and he became the heartbeat of this piece. Being in the home of vampires, I started thinking about how to reimagine that cliché. What if the transformation, the “turning,” wasn’t something grotesque or theatrical, but instead unfolded through dance?
The concept became a physical journey of music and movement intertwining to tell a story that’s dark, beautiful, and quietly surreal. We used the segments of the track almost like scene markers, plotting the choreography around the shifts in sound.
It’s a strange pairing with this music and this world but somehow it all made sense.
