An unconventional re-visitation of mythology is the conceptual piece DEATH BY DIAMONDS & PEARLS, signed by Carioca Studio. "Evoking cultural references, historical moments, and social rebellion, the film proposes connections between old and new and brings into spotlight transformations that took place due to the passing of time. It explores notions of myth, violence, hypocrisy, lust for power, duality. A corrupt world, split between abusers and their victims. Above all there is a punishing force of justice that resets the general equilibrium. The artists question the idea of human condition during different time periods and our interaction with this spiritual belonging. This makes the audience think of issues concerning the significance and presence of myths in our life in the 21st century." (Carioca Studio)

Director's statement:
Our project DEATH BY DIAMONDS & PEARLS is a conceptual mix between mythological symbols from the middle ages, mythology (from myth and metaphorical characters to cult objects and social status) and the cosmeticized contemporary. The stylistics is based on combining elements from different periods of time (armours, helmets, contemporary clothes, motorcycles, accessories) and proposes the viewer an image of a temporal space where he is invited to meditate about the human and spiritual side.
