If the video games designed by Miraimono, a visual artist and filmmaker based in Seoul, South Korea, were real, we could suppress a flying dragon with the avatar of Rosalìa in a swimming costume, or play with Bjork cutting off heads with a katana. All to the notes of their songs, in a metallic and disturbed version reminiscent of retro video games from the 1990s. Among the videos is one for Sophie, the artist who disappeared in 2021 in Athens, due to an accidental fall.
Miraimono is a name known for creating music videos, virtual reality animations, and visual projects, but also for creating fictional PlayStation-style video game covers, particularly for the first generation of consoles (PSX). These covers often combine the nostalgic aesthetics of 1990s games with modern and innovative elements, with an eye-catching visual effect.
His works are a tribute to retro video game culture, while maintaining a connection to the present in the subjects chosen for his productions, such as the video game trailer of Charli XCX, who is currently invading social media with her latest album Brat. In other cases, famous digital aesthetics are explicitly recovered, such as those of Doom for the trailer of Rosalia.
