Ukrainian director and music video maker Tanu Muino created a horror video in a 2000s style for the new song "Disease" by American singer Lady Gaga. As the 38-year-old artist noted, the main idea of the musical work was the "struggle with inner demons."
The mystical music video was published on her YouTube channel. Within a few hours of its release, the project garnered nearly 1.5 million views, and in the comments, fans expressed their admiration for the striking concept.
In the music video for the new track, Lady Gaga appears as her own "inner demons," showcasing different versions of herself. According to the star, she aimed to reflect that the most intimate parts of the human soul, which can sometimes evoke fear, shape each individual's personality, so there is no point in "running away" from them.
"I think a lot about the relationship I have with my own inner demons. It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic. Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can’t win or escape the parts of myself that scare me. That I can try and run from them but they are still part of me and I can run and run but eventually I’ll meet that part of myself again, even if only for a moment. Dancing, morphing, running, purging. Again and again, back with myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful to me because it’s mine and I’ve learned to handle it. I am the conductor of my own symphony. I am every actor in the plays that are my art and my life. No matter how scary the question, the answers are inside of me. Essential, inextricable parts of what makes me me. I save myself by keeping going. I am the whole me, I am strong, and I am up for the challenge," the artist wrote on her Instagram.
