Watch: Arca & Jesse Kanda Collaborate On ‘TRAUMA Scene 1’
Experimental, disturbing film is the first in a series. Jesse Kanda also directs the FKA Twigs videos.

This isn’t the first time Arca and video artist Jesse Kanda have collaborated. They combined during FORMS, a multimedia initiative held at the VW Performance Dome in New York. This is something new though, for the Veneuzela-hailing producer and the man partly behind FKA Twigs’ celebrated videos.
‘TRAUMA’ is a series of short films, each containing music from last year’s ‘&&&&&’ mix from Arca.
The first is a dark, disturbing clip full of dancing babies, of all things. ‘Scene 1 depicts a trio of disfigured children locked in synchronised dance, celebrating their inner and outer beauty in the limelight,’ reads a description from the artists. Watch the clip below.
