Madonna and Steven Klein's "Secret Project"


Madonna's "Secret Project" has turned out to be Steven Klein's "Secret Project," and the first video from it is this rather familiar-looking snippet.

Doesn't it remind you of "iamamiwhoami" from 2010?
And haven't we seen high-fashion models with black-painted skin quite a lot?

We'll see if what comes out of this is interesting, or if all the hype and manufactured buzz was required to counteract a collective yawn from art lovers.

In 2003, Klein collaborated with Madonna, creating an exhibition installation named X-STaTIC PRO=CeSS. It included photography from the photoshoot in W Magazine and seven video segments. The installation ran from March 28 to May 3, 2003 in New York gallery, Deitch Projects, it then travelled the world in an edited form.


Klein has recently directed the music video for Madonna's single, "Gang Bang."

From 12/12: "Madonna and long time friend and collaborator Steven Klein did a 2 day shoot in Argentina for an unknown project. The two images below have surfaced from the set and it also involves some her MDNA dancers, stylist Arianne Phillips and art director Giovanni Bianco. Being a two day project and judging by the set above it must be a video shoot and not just a mere photo session with Klein. Some fans are swearing it is the Gang Bang video because she wanted to do a video for that song since the MDNA album came out. Others say it might be Beautiful Killer. The art director came to twitter and said it is not Love Spent. Might be a new song, another art installation with Klein, who knows?"

  1. I am already yawning and i was so excited...from what i hear it is some sort of special group project, apparently other females are featured, Ladette gag her even got some space. but the shots looked soo similar to what she might have done whilst on the MDNA tour, there was that other SK leak. unless all these females are describing their prisons. Guess we will find out soon enough, I always liked her collaborations with him, but they did get a little weaker after a while, but he does drag out and open up these shoots, what used to be 4 new photos is now hundreds plus film. Anyways, this single solitary sole soul is the only one who cares about Madonna no fans, I want something else from her, she got me addicted again and now withdrawal and cold bloody turkey. I did enjoy the speech appearance although her appearance has changed again, she looked rather like her gym opening times a while ago, plumper face, she doesn't look like MDNA M anymore to me, she looked like a 1950as post wartime pin up, twas a little starnge but it did work with the outfit. She even looked different than when Anderson did that interview with her just a while ago! The SK tease could have been better and a bit more revealing, i too am tired of all this fashion ugliness and strangeness, ever since Gag her appeared, glamour and beauty just seemed to vanish, but i hear shes healing nicely so that's good. Peace x
