Premiere: Adelaide Artist HEN Unveils Queer Heist Video For 'In Red'

Hot off the back of the release of her single ‘In Red’, Adelaide artist HEN has continued to explore the song’s rich and fun themes on screen with the unveiling of the official music video.

Turning the usually objectified images of women on screen on their head, Director Emily McAllan presents a fun heist narrative that also depicts the real intimacies of two women in love.

Filmed out at The Manor Estate in Kangarilla and in Willunga, South Australia, the music video depicts the ‘Woman In Red’ trope without the male gaze that so often, visual representations are formed through.

Featuring HEN herself and Rhiannon Pulford, the ‘In Red’ music video appears in contrast to the song itself, branching out and further exploring a different story while very much keeping the core theme of female empowerment in play.

“I came out as Bi a few years ago after many years of pretending to myself. Those years of not accepting myself were awful, I wish I'd been able to see representation like this growing up! Maybe it would have helped me to be confident in my whole self a lot earlier. It feels amazing to be able to make something like this with a director like Emily who is also Queer and to be able to put something out there together that I feel is beautiful and positive," HEN says.
