EM: In the “Zombie” video you’re presented as some sort of deity figure.
DO: What it was was we wanted an abstract message as well as visually the real, actual Belfast footage. The idea of the gold was my idea; I wanted to paint my body in gold and be all glamorous and beautiful and perfect and gold, you know. The cross was the director’s idea, and the cross symbolized Christ suffering and dying, and all the pain that was caused to him. And all the little kids on the bottom were all painted in silver, but they’re screaming. Silver and gold to symbolize the beauty that we see in the world or that we care to open our eyes to. Then the screaming and the cross and the real, black-and-white footage symbolize the pain that’s there and we close our eyes to: the children that suffer, and the parents and families that suffer.
