Asie - Maurice Ravel (Shéhérazade) - Music Video - Directed by Mahan Khomamipour / Paliz

A girl's fantastical journey across Asia leads her to explore the cultures and norms of Asian countries, from Persia to India, to China. The work was inspired by ideas of exoticism and orientalism which pervaded the Western continent, and Ravel's artistic world, in the 1900s. Our interpretation explores the play between the fantasy and reality of how Asian culture is understood and perceived in two dimensions: East vs West and historical vs modern
