Shutterstock sells short, royalty-free video snippets of just about everything. The site’s categories, ranging from Animals/Wildlife to Business/Finance, are filled with video files less than a minute long that each exhibit an action or a scene representative of their ascribed subject matter. In "Amandine Insensible," directed by Piet Langeveld, Sevdaliza acts as a stand-in for a number of real Shutterstock videos that are actually available for purchase. Within the four-minute video the singer is depicted as a number of characters including a Professional Woman Call Center Operator, a Glamourous Woman In Red Silk Night Garment, and a Confident Ethnic Woman Leather Suit Umbrella. Sevdaliza is engaged in a series of activities that she describes in an interview with NPR as, “an extreme extraction of average life, representing a world where we have become so universal all feelings have disappeared.”
