Description: The music video was directed by Mark Romanek and first aired on May 12, 1994. It was cut down from its original length to 4:36. The video was popular and helped bolster the success of the band. It was also somewhat controversial due to its imagery which included a nude woman with a crucifix mask, a monkey tied to a cross, diagrams of vulvas, and even Trent swinging in shackles. These images seem to be inspired by the art of Joel-Peter Witkin. Scenes that had to be removed were replaced with a title card that said "Scene Missing," and the instances of the word "fuck" being edited out were accompanied by a stop in the video motion, to make it appear as if the stop was a result of defective film (this was done to make sure the flow of the song was not affected). The video also has a stylized, old-film look. The video is one of two directed by Romanek that the Museum of Modern Art has added to its permanent collection. |

| flnielsen ::: Favorites 2008-01-09 08:04:31 Thank you for the elaborate explanation of the visual inspiration from Joel-Peter Witkin. I didn't know that before, of course I looked him up on Wikipedia, and it's nice to have the easthetic considerations of the video explained a bit deeper, so that the video doesn't come across as a primitive and vulgar tour de force into ugliness. And may I reply by namedropping the Hieros Gamos ritual as a source of inspiration for the lyrics as well? ;-) __________________________________________________ | |
