The Brilliant Champions team crafted this official music video for artist Momoko’s new song “Maintainers”.

“We wanted to create a music video that explores topics of labor, sexuality and cultural assumptions of women. We drew inspiration from contemporary artist Kawita Vatanajyankur whose work is unavoidably compelling and perplexing to watch. The result is something that dances between the expectation of the viewer and the deconstruction of these expectations, resulting in provocative and beautiful carnage.”
