Taking inspiration from William Blake’s poem ’The Fly’, OB42 directing duo WAXXWORK follow up the success of 2023’s ‘Higher’ with their new video ‘House’ for London Grammar. The video was serviced by OB42 production friends Shishmish Films in Serbia.
Waxxwork (Timothy & Vikesh) said of the project, "For 'House' we wanted to use the fly as a catalyst and vehicle for our characters to meditate on their place in the world and the beauty of the present moment"
'Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.'
William Blake, 1794
