A Glitch in Paradise: Australian actor, model Harry Hains dreamed of a project that would circumvent the concept that “ most things we are taught to believe in are an illusion.
The idea of gender, sexuality, and race are social constructs”. He envisioned to communicate “The surface doesn’t really matter anymore. It’s really who we are … that’s what matters -the amalgamation of our memories and experiences. We are one human consciousness” through his own creativity.
Sadly enough he was gone too soon to make his dream production come to fruition but his family recently announced the actor’s posthumous music video titled against ‘Dream’ under the musical moniker, ‘Antiboy’; which navigates an undifferentiated world with people of all types of bodies, identities, orientation attaining true equality.
A Glitch in Paradise: How was this ‘Dream’ processed to reality?
A soulful blend of rock, electronica, pop, and gothic rock that cannot be settled into a specific type of genre or emotional palette is the late gender-fluid artist’s Ep, ‘A glitch in the Paradise’ that dropped on Dec 4 and one of the singles off the album is ‘Dream’.
Image Source: Hollywood LifeDirected by Charlie Chops and featuring transgender model/activist Andreja Pejić, “Dream” is a mesmerizing visual experience. “The idea behind the ‘Dream’ video was to create a queer celebration of sorts combining dream and reality,” as per the reports unveiled by HollywoodLife.
“I really wanted to build a diverse cast and team of people from all different shapes, colors, and identities. We had an incredible group of creatives collaborating to bring the ‘Dream’ vision to life, and I am so proud of the message it stands for – inclusivity, celebrating differences, and breaking boundaries just as Harry intended.”
It was more a grouped conquest for his family as they share some flashbacks of Harry’s recording sessions
‘Dream’ is animated with 3D effect by animator Sam Hains, Harry’s brother. ‘A Glitch In Paradise’ is ingenerated by Harry’s estate including his mother Jane Badler, champion of the ‘ANTIBOY’ project.
The mother opened up to reminisce “Harry was doing so well at the time. He was healthy and very excited about this new music he was creating.
I went to visit him in LA, and he took me for a drive in his vintage Cadillac. Harry was the worst driver, and my anxiety levels were at an all-time high as he zipped through red lights and clipped curbs. He said, ‘Mom, have a listen to the latest songs I’ve been recording.”
