Three Minute Epiphany

Jenny Hval: The Practice Of Love


Listen Later

Mary Anne is joined by Norwegian experimental songwriter and novelist Jenny Hval. Jenny presents a 3 Minute Epiphany on the practice of love.

The title of this 3 Minute Epiphany is also the title of Jenny's latest album and Valie Export’s 1985 film of the same name, which in part inspired the record.

We asked Jenny about the exploration of love in art in poetry and as a way of broadening her own writing practice.

Using the pop song format to attempt to make sense of what love and care actually mean, Jenny explores Love across her new record, saying of the album “Love as a theme in art has been the domain of the canonized, big artists, and I have always seen myself as a minor character, a voice that speaks of other things...But in the last few years I have wanted to take a closer look at the practice of otherness, this fragile performance, and how it can express love, intimacy, empathy and desire.”
