Video: Exildiscount – Going to Bed Hungry

A child being sent to bed without dinner? No, here’s a punishment more pernicious and severe: a life lived in the shadow of a dark past, marred by the attempt to break out of the sway of ideology, biological family, normative identity. A life that has left you hungry, while a history of trauma keeps spoiling your appetite. Here’s to the healing rage – one of the many steps on the way to redemption and owning your truth.

“Going to Bed Hungry” takes both its title and the footage used in the video from an art performance/video installation Exildiscount conceived in 2020, titled “Of the Eternal Fear of Going to Bed Hungry.”

Using a multitude of technologies in their unique set up, ranging from software to analogue video synthesis, Berlin-based VJ duo Pixelflowers have produced this original music video for the second track release from Exildiscount's current EP Next Big Thing.
