delicate apathy is a music video inspired by the phenomena of micro-sleep, which occurs when a fatigued person is trying to stay awake to perform a monotonous task.
Based on a personal experience, the video depicts the dreamy visions of a person that shifts between sleeping and waking while driving in a car at night. Surreal sequences and symbols repeat while the rhythm becomes more and more savage and eclectic. Starting and ending with the same scene in a car, the depicted experience is to be seen as a loop.
