Still from videoclip I fink u freeky by Die Antwood in collaboration with Roger Ballen (2012); YouTube
Who’d have thought a geologist with double degrees and a PhD would have been so cool to have been picked up by a rap-rave group and go viral on YouTube?
Seventy-eight million people have watched I fink u freeky by Die Antwood, made in 2012 and directed by South African artist Roger Ballen, after the group’s first use of his photographs were “pirated” without permission. The video went viral – as did Ballen’s career.
