Berlin-based Lea Porcelain share the visuals for 'Clock Of Time', lifted from their newest EP 'Love Is Not An Empire', released on August 9.
Filmed in Morocco, and inspired by Ephraim Lessing'a book Nathan The Wise, the track is a work on the value of time.
"Here the little girl symbolises a time-travelling being that is on earth to analyse people and their use of time.," explain the duo. "The sand that runs through the hands symbolises time and that individuals and societies can hardly cherish it and are unable to realise its value. Only something meaningful can show us the value of time.
"We then introduced two more characters, 'the Berber', one of the native people of Morocco and the woman in the hijab. These three people are all from a separate age, generation and origin and the only thing that unites them is time.
"We took a lot of inspiration for the video from Ephraim Lessing's. In this book, the two main characters discuss which of the 3 main religions is true – and we took a lot of that for the 3 characters in 'Clock of Time'. Nathan compares religions, saying that each of us lives by the religion we have learned from those we respect. And our message for the viewer is: It doesn’t matter where you are from, the only thing that connects us is time. So, RESPECT YOUR TIME! Don’t Waste it. In 5 months its 2020."
