Nina Simone's Gum

Set against the backdrop of Nina Simone's 1999 performance, this narrative explores the profound significance of a seemingly trivial object—a piece of gum taken by musician Warren Ellis. As it transforms into a sacred totem over the years, the story delves into themes of meaning, artistic process, and the bonds of friendship and love. The introduction by Nick Cave adds an extra layer of depth to this celebration of personal and artistic connections.
