»It’s a Knife« by Clément Clausse

“Have you ever read a little book that features pop star Ariana Grande and Joan Bennett, the Hitchcock star who played the antagonist in «Suspiria», in a death match to the rhythm of Charli XCX’s «Sympathy is a knife»?” — Clément Clausse

»It's a knife« by Clément Clausse invites you to immerse yourself in a 19th-century pop duel as we follow Ariana Grande, a young student at a prestigious dance school, grappling with the terrible headmistress, Madame Blanc, who tries to crush the young woman’s dreams. The artist uses imagery based on Joan Bennett’s performance in Dario Argento’s film «Suspiria» (1977), Ariana Grande's music videos «yes, and?» (2024) & «thank u, next» (2019) and the TV series «Scream Queens», produced by Ryan Murphy (2015).
