A 63-minute fever dream where Carl Jung haunts a Rotterdam summer like a psychedelic ghost.
"Fly too high and you will burn, go too low and you won't breathe." A 7 day vlog during the summer of 2023, a story of dreamers and drowners.
Editing

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carl Jung and Jean Cocteau appear only as sampled archival voices, dead for decades yet weirdly alive in Bruin's mix.
The title references Icarus's father—here, the artist builds wings knowing they'll melt, then vlogs the fall. Very 2023.
