Mouthface 

(2007) 

by Antonin De Bemels is a music video freely inspired by the track On the floor by Michael Fakesch, from his solo album Dos.

And what if you had three mouths instead of one? Mouthface is a music video for Michael Fakesch (Funkstörung). Music = weird funky electronica. Video = web-cam style freaky self-portrait.
