From the very beginning, Hashima established a multimedia concert experience as a unique context for presenting her original music, so that at the concerts she enriched the music with video projections and light installations made especially for the group by the renowned video artist Izvanredni Bob. The music video for the song “Glaciers”, on which director Lazar Bodroža and DP Lazar Bogdanović worked, presented the aesthetics of Hashima to the audience through a video that you can watch on the YouTube platform.
Another important, perhaps the most ambitious undertaking of the group is the artistic video triptych “The Haywain Triptych” which was made by 3 animators: Jelena Bešir (Belgrade), Jeneleen Floyd (USA) and Ranko Trajković (Jagodina) and in which the three positions of the group are inspired by images Hieronymus Bosch, and represent the creation of the world, temptations, and the terrible judgment.
