Call her a mermaid lord, puppet wizard, or punk princess—Cissi Efraimsson is many magical beings in one. Oscillating between art, film and music, she’s the first animator to anthropomorphize salmon sushi. Drawn to sea dwellers, her new film imagines salty mermaids in captivity, each of them hand-crafted and scripted by the artist. Cissi is also a lead member of the loveable Swedish punk band, Vulkano, and her ceramic sculptures feel like film stills—the life she breathes into her work is fantastically relatable and truly supernatural.
