A music video commissioned to Red Social by Mexico City folk musician Peras al Olmo, a project of Andy Mountains inspired in the rupestrian movement music. Simonnel is a song about an fictional character that unifies two basic concepts taken from Mexican street slang: Sim贸n (yes) and Nel (no). Projected on two screens, the video presents this oxymoronic fictional figure who says “yes with his hands and no with his eyes”, filmed on a double island strewn with the remains of a prison and personified by a model who contradicts this description, embodying the beauty of freedom. As a two-channel videclip Simonnel was presented in the exhibition “O霉 sont pass茅es les gazelles?” at the gallery Air de Paris in February 2022.
Filmed in Marseille 2021, release on April 2023 from Peras al Olmo youtube channel.
