I’ll paint my nails, pop some bubbly!
This AI-generated music video for the Czech duo Čokovoko uses irony and grotesque humor to portray the rituals of getting ready for a class reunion – an event that quickly slips into staged spectacle. What begins as a celebration turns into a surreal performance filled with beautification routines, illusions, and absurd fantasies of success.
A retro-futuristic aesthetic sarcastically underscores the contrast between illusion and reality, revealing the pressures of self-presentation in the age of social media.
