'Hangover' merges 3D photography with live action as Charlotte Rose Benjamin navigates a world where physical and digital collide, embodying grief's cycle from memory to reality, heartbreak to release.

'Hangover' (2025) directed, animated and edited by Chloé Desaulles for Charlotte Rose Benjamin's sophomore album 'Moth Mouth.' 

The music video merges experimental filmmaking techniques, handcrafted and assembled with innovations in 3D capture, live action and analog sets, creating a liminal space between tangible and virtual.

'Hangover's' world exists between aesthetic languages, merging photogrammetry, gaussian splatting, and custom machine learning with tangible set design and green screen. Physical environmental cutouts and tactile furniture elements designed by artist Katy Brett, interact with digitally modeled environments and software-painted textures, blurring boundaries between fabrication methods and typically incongruous visual languages.

As the artist navigates these threshold spaces, she embodies the cyclical nature of grief: memory dissolving into reality, heartbreak transforming into release. The work, playing with the individual textures of physical and analog media, captures Benjamin caught in an eternal seasonal and environmental cycle, a pendulum swinging between physical reality and digital ethereality, until she is eventually graced with her own release.
