Double Vanity and The Burrow Underground team together to launch a new single and video concept titled ‘Escalator’. Local performance artist and painter Billi Lime and Melbourne born, New York based filmmaker Stephanie Gould met for one day and within 24 hours the two artists armed with the song’s lyrics, music and photographs, filmed a kaleidoscope of visuals. Stephanie then returned to NYC to remotely edit the footage, while the band and collaborators isolated during lockdown.
With launches and exhibitions cancelled during lockdown making it difficult to present this new work, The Burrow Underground stepped in with an online launch concept; a streamed YouTube watch party of the film clip and a physical shopfront window presentation of the clip and artwork for Yarra wanderers. The Burrow Underground have been exploring new ways to platform the work of local independent creatives and facilitate community connection through arts experiences, and the establishment of their new website, subscription platform and online channel will coincide with the Escalator launch.
