Transylvanian art-pop artist Jinka already blew us away with her digital-punk debut ‘Trash From The Past’ and her follow-up ‘Flesh To White To Black To Flesh’ looks to be as spell-binding, visually challenging and conceptual as that first listen. Inspired by Bruce Nauman’s 1968 film of the same name, in which the director explores the idea of the human body as art by painting himself in various colours, the video for Jinka’s song sees the Berlin-based musician drenched in light projections, a modern update on Nauman’s idea. The track itself also explores distortion of what we think of most human - the voice. The anthemic pop song features variations of Jinka’s voice - a shouting mantra; clipped, unfinished words; pitched-up rhythmic notations. Speaking about the creative process behind the track, Jinka goes into great detail: "I started writing 'Flesh To White To Black To Flesh' in Toronto last year and finished the track in Berlin. During the production process I was watching Nauman’s video over and over again, trying to translate the atmosphere of its audiovisual field into my individual pop music language. For me, both video and song, are about dissecting, morphing, reinventing and physically exploring different identities, about shifting the focus of perception away from the juxtaposition of various distinct results to the process of steady transformation." - HT
