The director seems to once again have borrowed from the work of visual artists, which has previously led to lawsuits against Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande
#ContemporaryArt & #MusicIndustry | Dave Meyers, whose previous videos have caused singers Ariana Grande and Kendrick Lemar to be sued for copyright infringement, is now being criticised for appropriating images by the artists Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari in his video for Billie Eilish’s pop hit Bad Guy.
•Commentators on a Reddit thread have highlighted similarities between scenes in the video and a photographic series that Cattelan and Ferrari created for Toiletpaper Magazine, founded by the pair in 2010. The striking resemblances include images of severed heads in water-filled plastic bags and a man lying down with milk and cereal being poured into his mouth.
•Toiletpaper Magazine through its Instagram replier to a Reddit user: “Actually we didn’t know about that video… and nobody from that project tried to contact us. Surely we will check how and why it happened.”
•This is not the first instance of the Grammy-winning director being accused of appropriation in his works! There were Vladimir Kush for God is a woman (Ariana Grande) and Lina Aris Viktor for All the Stars by Kendrick Lamar.
