Björk & Jesse Kanda How the musician and artist have collaborated over the years

Published

Our first film features friends, collaborators and artistic soulmates Björk and Jesse Kanda. The pair worked on two of the Icelandic artist’s most amazing videos – 2016’s Mouth Mantra and last year’s Arisen My Senses. In the film we get a sense of how and why the duo are drawn to each other’s way of working.

WeTransfer Presents Work In Progress: Björk and Jesse Kanda

Collaboration doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We also build a picture of their individual artistic sensibilities and see how Iceland’s staggering natural beauty, the Reykjavík music scene, blood and bone, death and decay feed into the ideas that underpin their work.

Work In Progress looks at different types of creative collaboration. From creative soulmates to a pan-Asian collective and a musician grappling with her past, we explore how artists fuse different energies to create. See the whole series here.
