Did this 90s art film actually inspire Beyoncé’s ‘Hold Up’ music video?
- Dazed Digital argues Beyoncé’s Hold Up mirrors Pipilotti Rist’s Ever Is Over All in visuals and mood, focusing on window smashing and bright color.
- The piece notes similarities include the wanton destruction of cars, a jaunty attitude, and feminist overtones in both works.
- The article notes differences between the works, including the weapon and soundtrack used in each scene.
- The article mentions no public acknowledgment from Beyoncé, her director, or Khalil Joseph regarding a direct reference.
- Commentators have suggested the reference might be gratifying to Rist given her love of MTV-era clips.
- The piece frames Hold Up as part of a broader conversation about copying in music videos.
