The created images of Black Land Video Clip imaginatively narrates the mysterious Seven Beauties of Nizami Ganjavi.

With direct referral to characters of Seven Beauties, this work attempts to produce a secondary attractive narration of the present-era humans. This video clip story is adapted from Siah Pooshan City mentioned in Seven Beauties: A city with people concerning with affection and justice. Also, natural and ecological features were utilized for improving imaginative space of the story. Pristine nature, sunlight, and beautiful colors across rocks and extraterrestrial valleys played a significant role in the created space. The impressed imagination and technology created a mysterious space in the final album. The music is a combination of electronic motifs and themes, acoustic instruments, and French and Turkish Azerbaijani poetry. The poetry refers to humanity and romantic perplexity in agreement with the selected story symbols of Seven Beauties. This collection shall be released prior to release of the completed music album for 60th birthday of Alim Qasimov (The Eastern Genious) and simultaneous with the global day of Nizami Ganjavi.
