I just see one problem.. how is he going to get on that piano and safely stay/dance on there without stumbling over that….wing!?
 

Or are we now entering an era where he shall not climb pianos anymore? 
(This is a rhetorical question, of course he will! :biggrin2:)

 

Or is he climbing on cars now!?!

 I’ve been working with my friend Job for over ten years. Sculptor, artist and designer, his atelier is a secret wonderland from which he creates art that can be found in museums and galleries across the world. We have created several tours and sculptures together but never filmed anything for a video.

 

For the first time he opened the doors to his incredible atelier and allowed me to shoot my new music video for Apocalypse Calypso. It was like being allowed to play in a beautiful psychedelic parallel world.

 

Chris Turner the director took on the challenge of capturing me with these beautiful pieces of art and I created the custom looks for Atelier Mika together with @brunosimeone

 

I hope you love this video as much as I do and it’s out now on YouTube.

Thank you to all of those who helped us make this X

Mika Becomes Part of the Art in Playful 'Apocalypse Calypso' Video

 

Octopus' Chris Turner directs the video with Studio Job

 

The video for the sensuous pop lament Apocalypse Calypso is a collaboration between Mika, Studio Job (Netherlands-based atelier of conceptual artist Job Smeets) and director Chris Turner (Favourite Colour: Black). It balances Mika’s exuberant performance with Studio Job’s remarkable creations, which come together in a series of playful vignettes where the singer himself becomes part of the studio’s art.

 

Director Chris Turner said, “I was given access to a huge selection of beautifully strange artworks to use however I liked: The solid bronze couch (so heavy it needed a forklift to move it) is a sculptural representation of the late designer Jan des Bouvrie’s iconic Cubic sofa; The imposing sculpted angel wing piano created especially for Mika; A glittering globe, hand-crafted from half a million coloured Swarovski crystals. Pumpkin lamps with hand-blown googly eyes. Giant bronze magnifying glasses. We even got to cover Mika head-to-toe with Job’s trademark papier mâché finish. Combine these with Mika’s inimitable style (check out the suit made from 6000 custom-made mirror tiles) and you have a wonderful set of ingredients to work with.”

Studio Job's sculptures add a whimsical touch to Mika's Apocalypse Calypso music video

 

Mika’s musical journey through Studio Job’s Atelier

 

Following a decade-long collaboration, international pop artist Mika and Job Smeets present the whimsical music video for Apocalypse Calypso. Following Mika’s performance at the Rugby World Cup Final in Paris, Apocalypse Calypso unfolds as a ‘moving art piece’, featuring significant Studio Job artworks from the mesmerizing welding room to the flaming DAF car. The video was directed by filmmaker Chris Turner, providing viewers with a journey through the atelier’s workshop in the Netherlands. He systematically introduces key design features integrated into the narrative. We see the Giant Crystal Globe, comprised of over half a million Swarovski crystals and which was previously part of the No Place in Heaven Tour, accompanied by unpolished bronze bird wings. The solid Bronze Sofa, a sculptural representation of the late designer Jan des Bouvrie’s iconic Cubic sofa, further shares the frame with various Studio Job bronze works.

 

From a retro flame car to a grand winged piano

 

A Pumpkin Lamp from 2014, with handblown googly eyes, offers a touch of whimsy, alongside an unreleased Flame Car. Artist Job Smeets himself perches on his Cadillac Eldorado turned sculpture, the red-trip vehicle that inspired his 2022 American Job show in New York. The New Wing Grand Piano, created for Mika in 2023, stands as an imposing sculpted angel wing instrument. The Welding Room provides a behind-the-scenes look at the artistic process, featuring Lennart Zuydervelt and the rest of the studio’s team members seen welding and adorning Mika from head-to-toe with Job’s trademark papier-mâché finish.

 

In a moment of reflection, Job Smeets notes:

‘I always wanted to be a pop star, Ziggy Stardust. Mika, to me, is that alter ego. A brother in creation, we have a very special bond that’s very rare, that you can only have with a few friends in your life. Therefore, it’s long-lasting and always inspiring, and it flows by itself; it’s almost an automatic process — it just grows.’

 

Director Chris Turner, granted access to a selection of Studio Job artworks, recalls his experience, stating,

‘I was given access to a huge selection of beautifully strange artworks to use however I liked.’

From the solid bronze couch — which was so heavy that is required a forklift to be moved — to the glittering globe and papier-mâché finish, Turner acknowledges the collaborative effort that brought the video to life.

‘Combine these with Mika’s inimitable style (check out the suit made from 6000 custom-made mirror tiles) and you have a wonderful set of ingredients to work with,’ he adds.
