Bonobo (aka Simon Green) has shared the first official music video from his forthcoming album Fragments Ninja Tune on January 14, 2022. The video for “Otomo” reunites Green with London-based director and photographer Dave Bullivant. It was shot over three days in South Africa using a 360 camera that follows roller skater Harrison Peterkin as he glides through stunning natural settings and cityscapes. As the 360 camera twists and turns, the effect is both dazzling and dizzying, as if the viewer is sent hurtling through a vortex. Bullivant also directed Bonobo’s “Kerala” video from 2017’s Migration.

Fragments also features Joji, Kadhja Bonet and Jordan Rakei. Born first out of fragments of ideas and experimentation, the album ultimately was fused together in a burst of creativity fueled by both collaboration and Green’s escape into the wild.

“This video is about finding something that helps you escape for a while. I wanted to capture the duality of the song, which at times feels completely carefree and at others feels totally claustrophobic. I used small 360 cameras to create a pretty weird visual language that I love. The way they could whip around the skater as he lost himself in his movement allowed for some nearly impossible camera movements and effects,” says Bullivant.
