a music video,
by Icelandic singer, Björk, who worked with long-time collaborators Andrew Thomas
Huang and James Merry to create her vision of utopia,
in
it, two lovers pass a prism between their chests that represents love, which
Björk says is not just "in the quotidian romantic sense but in a broader
cosmological way, it's when the chest changes from a wound to a gate, where you
can send and receive love from, I was talking about prisms and how when one
suffers trauma, one splits into different coloured parts and the only way to
unite them is with love."
and continues, "Out of all the songs I've done, there hasn't been more
connection between the sound and the visual and the lyric," the movie was filmed as one continuous shot, directors Huang and Merry brought
on board animation studio Wolf and Crow, which modelled and created an avatar
rig that was worn by dancer Leo Morimune, who plays the dancing figures in the
video,
for her outfit, Bjork wore a Gucci dress designed by the
brand's creative director Alessandro Michele, which she described as "a
stubborn light beam of hope" in the middle of "a lot of
darkness"
and here is the video, as an aside if you look at the Thomas Huang link the opening page is a video all of it's own.
