PBK1 – A Painted Black Skiing Segment

Nicolas Vuignier and the NOWNESS crew have done it again with a highly creative video of called “PBK1 – A Painted Black Skiing Segment.”

This is a project I’ve had in the back of my head for quite some time. Having seen other filmmakers experimenting with natural pigments, I knew there was room for another visually interesting experiment.
In April 2015, I gathered a few riders and experienced photographers to perform this conceptual clip, in which skiers release black ochres while taking off, leaving ephemeral trails behind them as they fly.
