I illustrated the song through the lens of an ‘architectural lobotomy,’ a thematic term coined by architect Rem Koolhaas.
That dichotomy is represented in the fluidity and distortion of my composition, which straddles the subconscious divide of a surrealist landscape and an abstract, reclining nude.Īs a commentary on globalisation and the eerie loneliness of modern life, Let Down has a particularly spatial feel to it, so I chose to explore the ethereal but mundane cityscapes that I find fascinating. To me, Exit Music (for a Film) is the darkest track on OK Computer, but it also has this suffocating lust and wet longing to it. The cracked pavement is the material world giving way to spiritual truth, to the sky.
The narrator in the song paints terrestrial life as synthetic and space travel as enlightening, because seeing Earth from a distance puts his anxieties in perspective, so I wanted my illustration to focus on the boundary between manufactured and metaphysical space.
