Dream a Little Crazy – Architecture in Helsinki

Australia, 2013

© 2013 Architecture In Helsinki. (Bird / Franklin / Sutherland)

Film
A blurry image of a factory floor rendered in cold blues

Renowned for their colourful and crazy videos, Architecture in Helsinki’s clip for ‘Dream A Little Crazy’ was no exception. A collaboration between body architect Lucy McRae and designer Rachel Wingfield, the music video presents a “biological bakery” as it creates an edible anatomy. The Melbourne alt-pop darlings pointed to properties such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Weird Science (1985) and Frankenstein as influences for the concept.
