Synopsis

Zambri's "To Keep Back" places twin sisters Cristi Jo and Jessica in a surreal museum-like environment filled with display cases, habitat dioramas, and strange bursts of physical matter. They move through the space with a distant, dreamlike focus while glass, milk, baby powder, and wine erupt in carefully staged explosions. The imagery turns the song's dark electronic atmosphere into an abstract visual world, balancing sterile exhibition spaces with sudden, chaotic transformations.
