Thanks boo 😘🥰
Hellllllloooooooo, omg I had so much fun writing this, reading through everything and dissecting information. It reminded me how much I love to research and learn.
But buckle up peoples this is a long one. 
**Initial thoughts while watching the video (before any research or reading anything):
The ladder at the beginning
Is he finally coming down to earth? (The rover from mars, finally coming back down to earth.)
Where is he coming from and where does this ladder lead?
Was he up there looking for something?
Then later I had the thought if this was purgatory, but I’ll explain later
Celesine Venus and lyric matching
That caught my eye fast but I didn’t know where it was from 
Also the lyrics are matching what’s in the video, very show and tell because when he sings reading your horoscope we see the Celesine and a woman in the background with a book which has a zodiac sign (credit to this post for catching that https://www.tumblr.com/illicitaffairs1989/723335756122374144/harold-never-beating-the-im-still-thinking-about)
He’s on a roof when he sings that lyric 
And with the snake person, would she carry a antidote because she works with snakes?
Cloud Box
This caught my eye, and it could just be a transitional piece for the music video
But it was coffin like and represents the sky
And the way he bursts out and cuts to the cannon and him flying
Blue-and-yellow macaw 
Literally the only form of a blue bird we get but it’s mixed with yellow.
Any form of a true blue bird is missing
Santus Circus 
I wanted to check if this had any meaning and it’s an actual circus and they provide their equipment.
Which is pretty of cool of Harry and nice for the circus, hopefully they get tons of business now.
If anyone is interested here’s their social: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu4tb-dsQEr/?hl=en
Harry on a horse
At first I was like are you showing off, peacocking here cause he looks cute on a horse I will say
But it kind of interesting to end on this darker look but the contrast against the blue sky, chef kiss again.
Fashion
I alway love the styling and fashion choices in Harry’s work, they’re just a chef kiss. This video is probably my favorite so far. I loved the skeleton 
I loved the last outfit, the skeleton one (Welcome to the Black Parade anyone?) this was designed by Steve O Smith - highly suggest checking his work out, it really cool. https://www.instagram.com/steve_o_smith/?hl=en
Harry’s the only male and his place and role in the circus
Normally his videos feature a wide variety of people and genders 
And this one he’s surrounded by women 
Also what his role in the circus? Is he the ring master, what is his place? It feel like there’s something missing. A puzzle piece.

**Initial thoughts on what lets-talk-spirituality wrote:
I love your poem, it’s like the state of celebrity and how we read gossip and find entertainment out of their lives and rough patches they go through and we forget that they are real people. And I feel for Harry, I feel since he started, people have said so many things about him, blown parts of his life way out of proportion and treat him like an object. And he was so young and had to navigate all that b.s.
The colors and Truman show: 
I noticed the colors as well, they felt familiar for some reason, but yes very vivid and dream like.
I haven’t watch the Truman show and I have to check it out, I know the concept of it, but it’s interesting. Why is he climbing back down. Was he made to climb back down? 
Mirrors:
Thank you! I was trying to figure out the mirrors at first.
I was thinking of the lyric “We don't really like what's on the news, but it's on all the time” and all the stuff that’s said about him
Self reflection and growth he’s going, maybe his spiritual journey, he’s learning and growing
Maybe he is in a time of self reflection, has he had time to reflect and also thinking about everything, he’s been on the go-go for so long.
Penny farthing bike and vintage circus 
Yes that’s for sure that kind of bike, and it’s interesting because I always found those bikes scary, I’m scared of heights so that fall would hurt.
And a pull from the wiki article: It became obsolete in the late 1880s with the development of modern bicycles, which provided similar speed amplification via chain-driven gear trains and comfort through pneumatic tires, and were marketed in comparison to penny-farthings as "safety bicycles" because of the reduced danger of falling and the reduced height to fall from.
Another interesting pull: Although the trend was short-lived, the penny-farthing became a symbol of the late Victorian era. Its popularity also coincided with the birth of cycling as a sport. Playing with symbols again.
Also I love the vintage vibe, I always noticed that with some of his music videos how he pulls from the past and the mood board for this video has a lot of vintage elements: https://www.tumblr.com/hldailyupdate/723293053705699328/moodboard-for-the-daylight-music-video-19-july?source=share, maybe his past lives and he has a love for the past, looking at the past, something is there.
But in this music video he’s playing with heights, and trying to reach heights, and there’s a risk when you’re doing these stunts and trying to reach heights. If you fall you’re going to get hurt bad. 
Charlie Chaplin:
Yes, let’s freaking go, I love old school Hollywood and the start of cinema, I don’t know if you ever listen to this podcast: http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com but its so good and gives great context to what was going on and stories lost to history. 
But things that stood out to me: The Tramp, as portrayed by Chaplin, is a childlike, bumbling but generally good-hearted character who is most famously portrayed as a vagrant who endeavours to behave with the manners and dignity of a gentleman despite his actual social status. 
Chaplin's social commentary, while critical of the faults and excesses created by industrialization, also shows support for and belief in the "American Dream".
The obsession of working with efficiency and assembly-line productivity ultimately drives the Tramp mad. This could be seen as "an attack on the capitalist rationalization of production." However, "the film also guardedly affirms American middle-class, particularly its optimism." For example, one sequence depicts the Tramp's dream in which he and the gamine live a traditional middle-class lifestyle.
Sad Clown:
Omg I think I missed this convo 😭, but I do remember the look and I was like another David Bowie inspired piece, ashes to ashes, funk to funky, We know Major Tom's a junkie, Strung out in heaven's high, Hitting an all-time low, Bowie’s character in that video is Pierrot. 👀👀👀
four horseman of the apocalypse
This is fascinating, I did see a white horse in the background of the YT thumbnail but we never see it in the video
This line you pulled is interesting: the third carries a balance scale, rides a black horse, and symbolizes famine. One of Harry’s signs is Libra and the symbol for Libra is the scales. The scales reveal Libra's need for justice, balance, harmony, and fair play. Libra's glyph is representative of an equal sign or the horizon with the Sun rising above it.
Celestine Venus
I have to check that book out, and the Venus thing, hmmm
The wiki for the book had this interesting line: The book is a first-person narrative of spiritual awakening. The narrator is in a transitional period of his life and begins to notice instances of synchronicity, which is the belief that coincidences have a meaning personal to those who experience them.
Him as the only man
I was trying to work through this, and that was a order of thought I had too, I always remember this clip from he James Corden show where he says its tough out there: https://youtu.be/Vc7IswqXN5U?t=170 
To the left, to the left!
This I did not think of! And holy crap what an interesting article and something I noticed but never gave much thought. Us humans are so fascinating the way we give meaning to things. But the idea of left and right holding meaning. 
The left symbolizes death or darkness I think we get sacred with death and darkness, but death could be a new beginning and darkness you’ll never know what you’ll find and he fell willingly. He’s taking the risk, hmmm
Napoleon and  horses in art:
Wiki for Napoleon section: The refusal to attend a sitting marked a break in the portraiture of Napoleon in general, with realism abandoned for political iconography: after this point the portraits become emblematic, capturing an ideal rather than a physical likeness.
And the whole Influences section.
And the horses in art article was very insightful, these two stood out to me:
Without a doubt, as we said earlier, some of the most famous horse paintings were created during the emergence of Romanticism. (Harry the romantic.)
Because they are not so ever-present in our society anymore, horses have stopped being such a frequent sight in artworks. Cars replaced carriages, tanks replaced cavalry and horse races, although still in existence, are generally interesting because of the betting and the money. It could be said that, in Contemporary art, the steeds could still be depicted for their graciousness and nobility, rather than a specific role they have in modern-day life.

**My thoughts / more in-depth:
*The Ladder*
This was bothering me, like it was the first thing, where is it going, why is he coming down from it. So I started looking into a ladder leading to the sky to figure out the symbolism, I was starting to think is it stairs to heaven? But it’s a ladder. And when I think of the sky I think of the heavens and space etc. But after finding what I found it made me think, is he in purgatory?
So what I found was the story of Jacob's Ladder, I’ll pull some interesting things:
Wiki Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%27s_Ladder
Jacob's Ladder a ladder leading to heaven that was featured in a dream the biblical Patriarch Jacob had during his flight from his brother Esau in the Book of Genesis (chapter 28). The significance of the dream has been debated, but most interpretations agree that it identified Jacob with the obligations and inheritance of the people chosen by God, as understood in Abrahamic religions.
Biblical narrative
The description of Jacob's Ladder appears in Genesis 28:10–19:
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon the place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that **place to sleep. And he dreamed**, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood beside him, and said: 'I am the LORD, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac. The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.' And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said: 'Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.' And he was afraid, and said: 'How full of awe is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.' And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Beth-el, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
— Genesis 28:10–19
Christianity
Jesus said in John 1:51 "And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." This statement has been interpreted as associating or implicating Jesus with the mythical ladder, in that Christ bridges the gap between Heaven and Earth. Jesus presents himself as the reality to which the ladder points; as Jacob saw in a dream the **reunion of Heaven and Earth**, Jesus brought this reunion, metaphorically the ladder, into reality. Adam Clarke, an early 19th-century Methodist theologian and Bible scholar, elaborates:
That by the angels of God ascending and descending, is to be understood, that a perpetual intercourse should now be opened between heaven and earth, through the medium of Christ, who was God manifested in the flesh. Our blessed Lord is represented in his mediatorial capacity as the ambassador of God to men; and the angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man, is a metaphor taken from the custom of dispatching couriers or messengers from the prince to his ambassador in a foreign court, and from the ambassador back to the prince.[6]
The theme of a ladder to heaven is often used by the Church Fathers. Irenaeus in the second century describes the Christian Church as the "ladder of ascent to God".[7]
In the third century, Origen[8] explains that there are two ladders in the life of a Christian, the ascetic ladder that the soul climbs on the earth, by way of—and resulting in—an increase in virtue, and the soul's travel after death, climbing up the heavens towards the light of God.
In the fourth century, Gregory of Nazianzus[9] speaks of ascending Jacob's Ladder by successive steps towards excellence, interpreting the ladder as an ascetic path, while Saint Gregory of Nyssa narrates[10] that Moses climbed on Jacob's Ladder to reach the heavens where he entered the tabernacle not made with hands, thus giving the Ladder a clear mystical meaning. The ascetic interpretation is found also in Saint John Chrysostom, who writes:
And so mounting as it were by steps, let us get to heaven by a Jacob’s ladder. For the ladder seems to me to signify in a riddle by that vision the gradual ascent by means of virtue, by which it is possible for us to ascend from earth to heaven, not using material steps, but improvement and correction of manners.[11]
Jacob's Ladder as an analogy for the spiritual ascetic of life enjoyed wide influence thanks to the classical work The Ladder of Divine Ascent by John Climacus.
Jacob's Ladder is depicted on the facade of Bath Abbey in England, with angels climbing up and down ladders on either side of the main window on the west front.
*Where’s the blue bird? / Why wasn’t he dressed as a blue bird?*
As I was surfing through Tumblr after the video dropped, I noticed some were asking, where’s the blue bird? Why wasn’t he dressed as a blue bird, why is he the yellow bird. And some confusion because he's singing about a blue bird but he's yellow. 
And I’m like exactly, and I’m like yes they’re catching on, because like we said he’s the yellow bird, he’s not fully free, he’s a performer, a singer, he can’t up and fly away. He’s stuck in this circus, practicing away. Not going back up that ladder. Who is this blue bird, talked about but not seen. Which leads to my next point.
*The missing presence / Make one's presence felt/heard/known*
There was a missing presence in the video, the blue bird, no where in sight but mentioned frequently. Felt in the area and in the lyrics. But where is said blue bird?
*The rainbow*
Somewhere over the rainbow, look at gifs two and four: https://www.tumblr.com/londonharry/723292594841501696/harry-styles-daylight-official-video?source=share
And heaven is somewhere over the rainbow.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
*Harry on a horse / Tarot Symbolism*
So after the Celesine Venus and lyric matching and someone brought up on Tumblr the death card, I don’t have the link tho. But then cards started to pop into my head.
Death Card: Tho on the death card it’s normally a white horse and in the music video I can’t tell if the sun is rising or going down. I'm thinking its setting and its the golden hour.
Link: https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/major-arcana/death/
The Death card shows the Messenger of Death – a skeleton dressed in black armor, riding a white horse. The skeleton represents the part of the body which survives long after life has left it; the armor symbolizes invincibility and that death will come no matter what. Its dark color is that of mourning and the mysterious, while the horse is the color of purity and acts as a symbol of strength and power. Death carries a black flag decorated with a white, five-petal rose, reflecting beauty, purification, and immortality and the number five representing change. Together, these symbols reveal that death isn’t just about life ending. Death is about endings and beginnings, birth and rebirth, change and transformation. There is beauty in death, and it is an inherent part of being alive.
A royal figure appears to be dead on the ground, while a young woman, child and bishop plead with the skeletal figure to spare them. But, as we all know, death spares no one.
In the background, a boat floats down the river, akin to the mythological boats escorting the dead to the afterlife. On the horizon, the sun sets between two towers (which also appear in The Moon Tarot card), in a sense dying each night and being reborn every morning.
NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.
The Fool: When he’s walking on the tight rope, he throws his head up to the sky and makes this gesture and then falls and I instantly thought of the fool. Link: https://youtu.be/-UJCMfuFtSQ?t=163
I think that’s my favorite part in the video, falling into the unknown, the leap of faith, that hopefully something is down there to catch you. Very brave.
Link: https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/major-arcana/fool/
THE FOOL DESCRIPTION
The Fool is numbered 0 – the number of unlimited potential – and so does not have a specific place in the sequence of the Tarot cards. The Fool can be placed either at the beginning of the Major Arcana or at the end. The Major Arcana is often considered The Fool’s journey through life and as such, he is ever present and therefore needs no number.
On The Fool Tarot card, a young man stands on the edge of a cliff, without a care in the world, as he sets out on a new adventure. He is gazing upwards toward the sky (and the Universe) and is seemingly unaware that he is about to skip off a precipice into the unknown. Over his shoulder rests a modest knapsack containing everything he needs – which isn’t much (let’s say he’s a minimalist). The white rose in his **left** hand represents his purity and innocence. And at his feet is a small white dog, representing loyalty and protection, that encourages him to charge forward and learn the lessons he came to learn. The mountains behind The Fool symbolize the challenges yet to come. They are forever present, but The Fool doesn’t care about them right now; he’s more focused on starting his expedition.
NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.
*Height Themes*
Brining this back down from the bike section because its interesting, But in this music video he’s playing with heights, and trying to reach heights, and there’s a risk when you’re doing these stunts and trying to reach heights. If you fall you’re going to get hurt bad. 
*Breaking the 4th wall / Staring at the camera*
I have to go back and look at his other videos, only lights up comes to mind, but he’s making eye-contact a lot in this video. Which kind of breaks the story up a bit and makes it more immersive. But at the 2:35 mark really grabs my attention. 
*Also re enacting his childhood video?*
Someone posted this https://notoriousbeb.tumblr.com/post/723302511830843392/this-is-so-precious-i-may-vomit and I don’t know if its an actual video of him. But if so why is he reenacting this? Looking back at the past again? Where it all started?  
*Was Harry raised religious?*
I don’t want to pry into his life, but I’m curious because I feel like he throws a lot of religious symbolism and I feel like in past channeling he mentions religious things. But it's interesting.
———
Totally separate from the music video but it came to me last night.
Was it all a dream?
Let me throw this out there. I was thinking about the past few music videos and the album as a whole. And I wonder, when we think of Harry’s House, we think of the physical space. The physical symbols, you are home door etc. But what if he was inviting us all into his mind, into his dreams? And I saw some comments that his videos don’t make sense,. But when do our dreams and fantasies we have in our head make sense? It’s our brain trying to figure out the outside world or its spirit sending out symbols. 
And when you look through his music videos through that lens and looking at dream symbolism that’s when it gets interesting and more fun as well. 😜🧐
I'll throw in one dream symbol I was looking into, which was for the ladder: https://www.auntyflo.com/dream-dictionary/ladder
But it’s just a theory, a 🕵️‍♀️ theory.

Other interesting things I saw on Tumblr:

I have the week off from work and I have been resting and working on getting my energy back.
But I hope you and everyone enjoys the read and I hope it inspires others to look and think what it can all mean!
I’m off to play some video games and rest some more. Have a wonderful day, I'm excited for Saturday and to feel the energy.
with love,
🕵️‍♀️
My love, you’ve truly outdone yourself. I’m hella impressed. And I definitely made some connections reading through this! I’m gonna go through and comment.
when he sings reading your horoscope we see the Celesine and a woman in the background with a book which has a zodiac sign
When I saw it was Sagittarius I immediately thought about him being on the horse later so I wonder if that ties in. Sagittarius is known for being the sign of higher education, philosophy, and religion, and it rules travel. It makes me feels like the horse at the end may symbolize him either beginning this journey to higher understanding or highlighting that he reached the Sagittarius state, like he’s more self aware and educated and worldly.
I loved the last outfit, the skeleton one (Welcome to the Black Parade anyone?) this was designed by Steve O Smith
Yes! Omg I didn’t even see that. But what a great reference.
Lyrics that stick out from that song: He said, "Son, when you grow up, Would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?"He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers. The plans that they have made?"
Here’s this dress I mentioned for others to see.
Tumblr media
This is interesting because I’ve said Harry is aware of his role in the bigger collective. He knows his mission and you bring up the latter as a bridge between heaven and earth. I think Harry may see himself as this in between too. Not saying he thinks he’s a god but he’s aware others think that. Celebrities are treated like modern day Demi-gods. Omg this connects to another poem I wrote!
Would you leave demigod status
For a day upon the earth
Would you descend mt. Olympus
To heal me of my curse
Maybe he’s descending Mt. Olympus to mingle with mortals. We’ve discussed the deep Greek mythology references and I mean he did play Eros.
Harry’s the only male and his place and role in the circus
I want to add that he’s the only male presenting one, I saw somewhere else that there are men in the video but they aren’t overtly masculine. It’s interesting because of the discussions around his gender, and sexuality.
I was thinking of the lyric “We don't really like what's on the news, but it's on all the time” and all the stuff that’s said
That’s an interesting connection to make! When the TV is off, you can more clearly see yourself. It almost becomes a mirror.
Now I’m randomly thinking of the Greek myth of narcissus (yes where the word narcissist comes from). Basically narcissus fell in love with his own reflection “shut your mouth, open your eyes and see, I’m still the only one who’s been in love with me.”
penny-farthings as "safety bicycles" because of the reduced danger of falling and
Interesting because I think there’s a theme of fear of falling, or falling in love as dangerous, but he mentions it in many songs, literally falling. I totally think he has intimacy issues which can make falling in love scary. I can’t reference all his lyrics but some of the leaked ones had lines like “I could never get sick of you, I just bit off more than I could chew” “who’s this man holding your hand” I think falling in love freaked him out.
The obsession of working with efficiency and assembly-line productivity ultimately drives the Tramp mad
I immediately thought of this lyric “Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet.” And “all we want is automatic all the time” and “tea with cyborgs.” Harry seems to reference dissatisfaction with our current society in some of his music and he seems to be commenting on humanity and it’s short comings.
Sad clown
Okay basically I was talking about how I think Harry sees himself as Pierrot and is always pining for his Columbine. The sad clown becomes friends with the moon. This character is supposed to be a comic relief character.
There’s also a famous song called Tears of a Clown, by Smokey Robinson
Furthermore, the sad clown is a trope in art and creates the Sad Clown paradox, which explores the link between depression and using humor as a coping mechanism.
https://medium.com/the-collector/interpreting-the-sad-clown-stańczyk-ffaff072e3d6
Vintage Circus
Okay! So I remembered after I posted my post yesterday about this tidbit I read at the Blues museum in St. Louis. It said that touring blues musicians started out touring with side show circuses as a way to reach people. We also see this in the Elvis movie, how Elvis started with touring with the local fair/circus. Many artists play fairs early in their career, specifically in the Country music field. Furthermore, the touring life is part of the circus as well as for Harry. There is a resonance there, it’s a similar lifestyle.
One of Harry’s signs is Libra and the symbol for Libra is the scales. The scales reveal Libra's need for justice, balance, harmony, and fair play.
Yes! I thought of this Libra connection as well. But also famine, when we think of famine we think of people who are hungry, he brings hunger. Think about the rabidity of his fan base. Starving for more always. Ties into music for a sushi restaurant video where he’s literally going to be devoured.
realism abandoned for political iconography: after this point the portraits become emblematic, capturing an ideal rather than a physical likeness
Yes! Isn’t that interesting because Harry in his career embodies an ideal. There’s commentary there about reality versus impression. And later you commented on how horses became obsolete and Harry discussed how Billie Eilish sort of helped him come to terms with his own obsoletion and how his fame and career may change when he stops being “it.”
Bluebird
I think we talked about bluebird symbolism and how it was used in Bukowski poem to represent this hope or this dream, creative outlet as this bluebird that he has caged inside. Miranda Lambert has a song called Bluebird too. I think it’s interesting because he’s saying he can’t be a bluebird. Presumably he can’t be a bluebird like his person. But also it’s kind of this heartbreaking experience right. Like I wish I could be what you need but I can’t. If I could, I’d give you the world but I can’t be. And a lot of relationships have this outcome where ultimately you realize you just can’t be what they want or need and that means you aren’t meant to be together. It’s one of the most heartbreaking moments ya know? Also blue represents sadness and yellow represents joy. I think in his growth he’s accepting he can’t go back, he can only be who he is now and he has to release the past.
Clouds
First, this video gives this vibe:
Tumblr media
Isn’t it crazy how even back then he was leaving hints. I wonder how intentional or coincidental (synchronistic) it was.
Also I had this thought too, his head is literally in the clouds, an idiom that means like not being in touch with reality or like being a bit delusional, unrealistic. Head in the clouds made me think of Drake.
Tumblr media
Was it all a dream?
In promotion of the album he said that he wanted people to feel a day in the life of him and his mind. So yes some of this may be more dreamlike or not seem logical because our minds aren’t always logical
**also to note. He released LNT music video on July 13 and this one on July 19. Just thought that was interesting to connect.**
Thanks so much to you for all your investigation. It took me multiple hours to respond and I’m sure it took you long as fuck to write this all out. We’re so happy you’re here, vesty nonnie. Love you!

remember this post x
Now Harry has made it again, Tracey Emin who has been highly criticized because of the message behind her art
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“my bed” 1998 by Tracey Emin, british artist
here’s the original article x in Spanish, but basically the most important part says:
… Makes us see in everything a reference to confinement and chaos, we would continue to snoop into the details: scrambled sheets, underwear, used condoms, bottle of vodka (empty), slippers, ashtrays crowded with cigarettes, a pregnancy test and that blissful blue carpet at the foot of the bed. Secondary objects, the trail that has left what is missing. Everything refers to the real protagonist of the installation (exceptionally, we are not talking about a painting), which is not the bed, but the body that is not there.
The imprint of the woman who has just risen from a deadly hangover and becomes aware of her condition. That bed is a shroud of the contemporary Passion, a Shroud from the body of a woman who is harassed and accused by the media and the criticism of sexual obsess, emotional exhibitionist and shacklera of her youthful traumas. That bed and what you don't see in it is a punch to patriarchy
Tumblr media
This piece of art became part of black list for haters of contemporary art, because: In fact, they can't stand that it is as ugly as life itself, because they also hate loudly any type of art that is not a perfect illusion that separates them from the harsh reality and their futile lives.

Vestigative nonnie, my love! I still have your ask about satellite and I haven’t forgotten. Hope you’re well hon :)
Let’s have one of our rabbit hole seshs.
So immediately something that stuck out to me was the hall of mirrors…
I wrote a poem in June of 2022, here’s a snippet:
It’s all a punchline
And you’re all spectators
To this stand up spectacle
Did you just pause me
Go get water and popcorn
Before coming back to your
Couch and indulging in my
Shit show, more reality than
Tv but entertaining enough
I’m deemed allowed to breathe
It’s a Truman show life
I want to find my way out
But there is no way out of
Nothing, nothing but being
Trapped in torment, a crazy
Circus and it’s scary
I can’t tell if I’m spinning
Or if it’s optical illusions
And the hall of mirrors makes
Me sick, all the mes I see
I have to get out of here
The colors are super vivid, almost not real in the music video, and it’s him navigating through the circus but he’s never actually performing, just practicing. It’s also curious to me how he climbs down the stairs from where? The sky. The opposite of Truman show. At the end, Truman climbs the stairs of the sky to free himself from his fake reality, but Harry, he’s climbing back down into the circus from the sky where he seemingly was free.
The hall of mirrors, all the reflections of himself he sees in the media. Did you know mirrors reflect you backwards to yourself, all his older versions of self. Hes played alot with backwards as a concept, like back masking and even in As it Was there’s the element of turning back time. A big theme for him has been replaying things and seeing them from a different angle, which ties again to mirrors. He’s curious and looking at things from many angles.
It’s interesting to me too how happy and jolly this whole thing is. He’s putting on a show even though it’s not the circus show. A lot of it also draws on older circus concepts like the strong man, and the style of bike. I wanna say those are early 1900s, 1920s? Maybe. It’s called a penny farthing bike:
I immediately thought of Charlie Chaplin and the tramp character he played:

We have the sad clown which I think I’ve talked about before with the symbolism of the clown he chose to be for Harryween. But the clown in this video actually like mimes crying. And he mimes it back. From my same poem:
It seems funny, but does anyone
Look for the jester when he leaves
The throne room and where does
He go smoke his cigarette
Alone at night somewhere
Outside, does he end his life
Or laugh with menace only
He’s shot out of a canon to fly but still not as high as the latter goes, the tight rope isn’t as high either. He’s wearing a black outfit that looks sort of like that skeleton dress phoebe bridgers wore to some event. It just sticks out as skeletal to me. And he’s on a horse, maybe apocalyptic symbolism. The four horseman of the apocalypse as mentioned in the Bible:
“the third carries a balance scale, rides a black horse, and symbolizes famine”
Also in late night talking we see him crashing back down to earth from a dream. Does he crash back into this circus?
There’s a tarot reader named Celestine we see on the board behind him. Celestine Venus, she is an expert not a novice. Interesting the name is Celestine because of the Celestine Prophecy. It’s a book that’s shown up in my field a few times over the last two years. I haven’t read it. It’s a spiritual book about spiritual warfare from what I’ve been told. Celestine also means heavenly, clear blue sky. Which is a big theme in the music video. Also Venus? Hmmm didn’t we see Venus de Milo at his Coachella performance? The goddess of love? Some more Greek/ Roman mythology.
Also he’s the only man and at one point he’s trying to run from the circus and he’s screaming into the mirror. Running away from the circus of his dating life. But nothings happening, it’s all behind the scenes shit. Walking a tight rope between truth and smoke and mirrors.
He walks the tight rope but falls to one side still. To the left. The left symbolizes death or darkness but here’s more about that symbolism:
Him on the horse emulates many classic paintings of generals or powerful men. Riding a horse was an important skill for many men throughout human history. His shot mimics Napoleon crossing the alps.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry on the piece:
Here’s an article on horses in art:

We all know Harry is a fan of art so it’s interesting to note. When I saw that shot I immediately thought of the Napoleon crossing the alps but couldn’t place it. I think shots like this are ingrained in our minds because they are such frequent symbols. It’s very much a symbol of accomplished men of war.
Anyway, those are a bunch of things I noticed in the video! Open to more thoughts and feedback on some of what I brought up.
