Norwegian's up-and-coming artpop singer Jenny Hval lays herself bare through her musings on vulnerability and love for The Great Undressing, with a striking visual befitting the theme by Marie Kristiansen.We follow actress Marte Germaine Christensen as she goes about her daily life in the nude, celebrating birthdays, going to work, seeing friends and going for a solitary kebab surrounded by normally clothed lovers. Kristiansen explains, "from a spiritual point of view, the film explores loneliness and isolation in a world where capitalism and blending in are the two ruling factors," and indeed, the success of the video lies in its ability to convey these innermost feelings through its stirring simplicity and melancholic visual tone.
