A BLACK HEARTED LOVE
2009-03-23The first video from PJ Harvey and John Parish’s ‘A Woman A Man Walked By’ has been lensed by British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman. The single ‘Black Hearted Love’ will be released on April 13th through Island Records. “We were both very excited that Jake and Dinos Chapman wanted to make a video for ‘Black Hearted Love’. The result is beautiful, mysterious, surreal and enhances the song wonderfully,” said PJ Harvey and John Parish of the video.
Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2003, The Chapman Brothers came to prominence as part of Charles Saatchi’s Young British Artists, they exhibited at White Cube in 2008. The Chapman Brothers presented a suitably surreal treatment for the song, “We decided ‘Black Hearted Love’ deserved something haunting and enigmatic – yet brazen and colourful. Hence, a collision between an ominous forest and a garish bouncy castle seemed entirely appropriate… Working with Polly and John was an absolute pleasure.”
