Björk Shares Intense, 10-Minute "Black Lake" Video

Björk Shares Intense, 10-Minute "Black Lake" Video

New York City’s Museum of Modern Art recently hosted a retrospective on Björk‘s career. A video for “Black Lake”, from this year’s Vulnicura, was commissioned for the exhibit. Now, you can watch the ten-minute video, directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, which features Björk singing in the Icelandic landscape. Check it out below, via Dazed

Björk also shared a statement about the video:

dear folks

here comes the black lake video 

 a video me and andrew thomas huang did 

i would like to thank him and james merry so strongly for going through with me the longest video process yet, especially to andrew for his talented elegant patience and to take my first visual impulses and weave into them his own magnificent vision :

 im so honoured !!

it was a complex yet adventurous process to synchronize with so many departments

i would like to thank klaus biesenbach for commissioning it 

and to the haxan cloak , the speaker collaborators , the architect david benjamin , marco perry who all helped me make the most ideal sound room possible for that song 

and then thank derek and emma birkett and tamsin . and iris and erna 

and arca for producing the music with me 

can i also thank new york for a feisty 5 months , 8 lush gigs ?

i guess its time for “stonemilker” and “black lake” to get out there into the world after a 3 month stint in a museum  ….. ( after all the effort , stonemilker was like black lakes spontaneous baby sibling ha ha ha  ) we tried to make it in a way it was both at home there and also as a no nonesense music video ( still my fav format)  and i hope you dont mind the wait 

most curious though about them next things 

perhaps we dont even have the best tools yet 

and technology might be where all the senses can merge even better ? 

!!! here´s to some more VR vulnicura releases soon !!!

enthusiasm
