Jenny Hval<\/a>\u00a0has written a book.<\/p>\n

Inn I Ansiktet (Sings With Her Eyes) is about the evils of the visual media: the murky footage of a naked Paris Hilton, images of the terrified Nancy in Nightmare on Elm Street, the bizarre caricatures from Paradise Hotel. It\u2019s about making your voice heard through feedback at a rock concert, about the way the voice changes when you speak another language, and about being harassed by a stranger in Perth.<\/p>\n

But again and again Hval returns to Carl Th. Dreyer\u2019s 1928 silent movie Jeanne d\u2019Arc<\/a>, to which she performed music in 2011; to the face of Ren\u00e9e Falconetti, the actress who embodied Jeanne; to a woman who heard the voice of God inside her own body.<\/p>\n

Inn I Ansiktet is a fascinating, critical exploration of the voice; what it means, what it expresses. Jenny Hval\u2019s personal experiences as a musician and singer illuminate \u2013 and are illuminated by \u2013 intriguing reflections on the female voice, on its constraints and its transgressive potential, as these appear in art and popular culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
