Flying Hórses - Unsettled

There are many words to describe the visual for Flying Hórses’ Unsettled - but the word “breathtaking” seems to be the most apt description. Shot in the beautiful, but desolate landscape of Iceland, we find the artist confined within a glass box, surrounded by the vastness of nature around her. The box begins to fill with smoke, overwhelming and suffocating. As the box starts to fill, she tries to escape for a moment, before resigning and quietly wallowing in the haze around her.

The artist has previously addressed the meaning of her entrapment: “The smoke-filled box is a metaphor for the overwhelming feeling of being unsettled. Although you can see there are beauty and light nearby, your mind cannot reach it until you face the darkness, instead of trying to escape it.” Director Timothee Lambrecq builds a strong connection between the viewer and the artist’s quiet struggle with herself, painting a rather beautiful portrait of the dark and often debilitating state that many can often experience.

Flying Hórses is the project of Montreal instrumental artist Jade Bergeron.

The B.C. dance festival returns this summer after a sold-out edition last year. Mavis Staples and Alabama Shakes also share upcoming Canadian dates, and the Canada Black Music Archives announces Black History Month programming.

Tiësto, Zedd and Kaytranada will all be getting faded in the park this year.

The three dance music superstars are set to play Surrey, B.C.'s FVDED Music Festival, which returns for another edition on July 4 and 5. Last year, the festival refocused itself on dance music, leading to a sold-out edition. "We tried to make sure people were heard,” Blueprint's Alvaro Prol said of the decision at the time.
