Izzy Spears Envisions a Magical Realm in Musical Film 'Burn'

BURN is a short musical film by ataka51 featuring the artist Izzy Spears. The project was created in collaboration with Georgia Pendlebury, Florence Tétier, and the Jean Paul Gaultier archive collection.

Mixing fashion, music, and cinematography, the film unfolds in a surreal world where storms devour buildings, dolls come to life and fall apart, and a city filled with living mannequins. Inspired by The Wizard of Oz, together with Izzy Spears’ romantic lyrics, we ask the question: what is fake and what is real - does it matter? We envisioned our own magical realm - a contemporary kitsch universe of pink posters, white teeth, and fake furniture, where beauty and reality blur in an enchanting and unsettling Neverland.

Burn is a mixed-media short film imagined by ataka51 based on a track by Izzy Spears, in collaboration with Henry, Farago Projects and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Demonstrating technical mastery in CGI puppeteering, the result was achieved with the use of miniatures, analogue film photography and ground breaking 3D rendering.
