La Commedia dell’Arte!🩰 Entering the world of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1948 film ‘The Red Shoes,’ a prima in her own right, @Melanie Martinez plays with its ideas of art and obsession becoming inseparable. Photographed by An Le, Melanie steps into the surreal, a fitting choice for an artist whose imagination has never stopped at music. “The world tells you, ‘You’re not a filmmaker. You didn’t go to school for that.’ I really do my best to ignore all of that and just follow whatever instinct there is to create.” Like the film that inspired the story, Melanie’s relationship with her art is one of complete immersion, following the instinct to create wherever it takes her.
