Open Wide for Scene 2 from Arca and Jesse Kanda’s Trauma Film

Watch the second clip from the producer and artist’s grandiose/gross film.

May 08, 2014


Venezuelan producer Arca and artist pal Jesse Kanda have been working together for a minute now and it's a relationship that makes perfect, crystalline sense. Kanda's visuals are as hypnotically warped as Arca's moaning, elastic beats. Following their joint exhibit at MoMA PS1 last fall, they dropped the first scene from their film Trauma in March. Now here's scene number two from the duo's ongoing project. Sonically, the mood is tensely grandiose, as if one is marching toward a certain fate with a head held high. Visually, it will be uneasy watching for anyone with dental phobia.
