Histibe – Take the Form

The visual aspect of the album deserves special attention. Collaborating with different creatives, Histibe was able to produce unique music videos to support the album. The music video for the track “Late Night 2.0,” directed by Portuguese visual artist Renato Marques, received various digital awards, including the reputable Vimeo Staff Picks. Additionally, the “Elements” music video, directed by Italian filmmaker Maria Pia Fanigliulo on the streets of London, was featured at the BBC Music Video Festival and received an award from Behance in the “Motion” category, curated by Adobe. The ultra-experimental music video for the track “FOT3D,” directed by Dutch visual artist Siegfried Bekkers, with logo design by acclaimed American-based creative Joe Perez, also received a digital award from Behance. Histibe, based in Ukraine at the time, was deeply involved in the creative direction of these projects.
