An intimate look at one of the most creative artists at work today. When it comes to making music, Bj#65533;rk needs no introduction. She has always been at the vanguard, exploding convention and leading her listeners down the uncharted paths of a haunting and harmonic trip through sound. Last year, she starred in Lars von Trier's acclaimed Dancer in the Dark, and took home the coveted Best Actress award at Cannes. A true artist whose work has consistently transcended creative and geographic show more borders, Bj#65533;rk turns every medium she touches to gold. Her next project is a gorgeously produced, stunningly beautiful collection of photographs and text that is being published simultaneously around the world. Designed by Bj#65533;rk and m/m, the celebrated Paris design firm that has already collaborated Balenciaga, Visionaire, and Yohji Yamamoto, the book boasts contributions from the world's top photographers, fashion designers and video makers as well as original writing and artwork by Bj#65533;rk herself. A breathtaking photographic odyssey through Bj#65533;rk's career, a stunning visual and literary companion to one of the most original performers of our time, Bj#65533;rk promises to be like no book you've ever seen. Coinciding with the release of her new album, Vespertine, and the supporting tour, this book is a must-have for Bj#65533;rk's admirers as well as anyone craving a touch of beauty for their bookshelf. show less
