Kanye West to Screen Steve McQueen-Directed Video at Los Angeles Gallery

This Saturday in Los Angeles, Kanye West will give the video for “All Day/I Feel Like That” its U.S. premiere, the New York Times reports. Directed by Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Hunger), the SWISH songs’ nine-minute video will run for four days at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during regular opening hours. The screening follows the film’s first airing this March during Kanye’s four-night Paris residency at Foundation Louis Vuitton.

Describing the video, the New York Times wrote:

Filmed in a single nine-minute take at the Chatham Dockyard in southeast England, the video follows Mr. West through an empty warehouse as he runs, crouches, dodges, raps, rants, sweats and pants, as if being pursued by the camera or the police or in pursuit himself, until he slumps against the wall to catch his breath. At several points Mr. McQueen’s focus is so tight that Mr. West’s face cuts in and out of the frame. At one point, the camera keeps its distance as Mr. West raises hands above head in a gesture of surrender.

Previously, West and McQueen collaborated at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, where the rapper performed “Blood on the Leaves” in front of a backdrop designed by McQueen. In January 2014, the pair sat down in conversation for Interview. Read the full interview here.
