Essay on the artistic work of Jessie Kleemann
A monograph dedicated to Jessie Kleemann, co-written by the artist and Iben Mondrup. This book explores Jessie Kleemann's artistic universe through the qivittoq, an Inuit figure and a theme often present in her works. In Inuit cosmology, the qivittoq is a character rejected by her community or turned toward a life of solitude in nature. Sometimes associated with resilience and survival in a hostile environment, this figure is part of oral tradition, but also of contemporary Greenlandic literature. Richly illustrated, the monograph contains numerous photographs of Jessie Kleemann's performances, her preparations, and her artistic creations themselves.
