They say the northern folk are cold. Jonna Lee and the mysterious collaboration known as iamamiwhoami seem as "cold" as the surface of the sun. Explosive and highly emotionally charged music accompanies surrealistic videos of performance art that is filled with mythic, dreamy imagery. The sound is part danceable, part sad and bitter-sweet, and part ominous at times.
This image was mostly inspired by the video for clump. Although ultimately a caricature (I try to work in the realm of "cute") it brings to mind certain beings from European myth and folklore. Obviously Fairies and Trolls but I was also inspired by the Basque woman of the forest, Basa Andere. A being who seduces men by combing the short fur on her belly with an enchanted golden comb.
