Christina Aguilera meet Floria Sigismondi.
Don't laugh.
The confab between the U.S. pop tart and the highly respected Canadian avant-garde video director is about to happen in L.A. next Monday and Tuesday.
The Hamilton-born Sigismondi will direct Aguilera in the clip for her next single, Fighter, from last fall's disc, Stripped.
One thing is for sure, anything is an improvement over the much-dissed Aguilera video for Dirrty, the first single.
I can hardly wait to see what the highly imaginative Sigismondi comes up with. Her credits include striking videos for David Bowie (Little Wonder, Dead Man Walking) and Marilyn Manson (Beautiful People, Tourniquet).
Sigismondi's most recent video was Interpol's Obstacle #1 and she also directed a clip for the first track off Icelandic space-rocker outfit Sigur Ros' untitled album, ().
The ominous yet beautiful Sigur Ros clip is getting some play on MuchMusic despite its tragic tone. It depicts school children wearing gas masks and playing outside in an otherwordly landscape, complete with a glowing orange sky and dark, volcanic-like soil.
