A graveyard is the open space for a woman to run through, not to mention Norwegian singer and artist Jenny Hval bouncing on a stability ball whilst wearing a wig. If this sounds even remotely strange, that’s because it is. This is what you get with Hval’s latest video ‘Conceptual Romance’. There is even a scene where three girls are going mental, to the point of fighting each other. However, all of the ladies seem to be in a happier state of mind once all huddled together in front of a mansion whilst wearing cat suits painted to look like naked bodies. According to director Zia Anger, the video is “a conceptual ménage a trois between Jenny, myself, and cheap tricks. It is a literal burial of the effigies we have created in our video and performance collaborations over the past three years.” The song is taken from Hval’s forthcoming LP Blood Bitch, out September 30th on the Sacred Bones label. Have a look.
