Björk on Her Concert Film, ‘Cornucopia,’ and Its Immersive Sci-Fi Universe

In talking about her new film for concerts, “Björk: Cornucopia”, the name of the film mentions the way the performance is concluded in the movie, and the finally hoped message that she wanted to go through.
She says that the end of the film has “Love will save us from death” as a climate message to it, “which I believe in it so much. It is a strange response to” the love of the Goths “in the section of joy” will tear us. “I want. Premature She says, “The Goths announce. To confirm, she adds,” she says:Albino Gothic It is what I will go here. “
Access to this finishing stage on the stage was a usually great experience, as it was restored in “Björk: Forcopia,” The magic concert film documenting its five -year tour, which opens in cinemas all over the world today. (Tickets and theatrical sites of the film can be found here))
When you ask the icon of the Icelandic sound and visual arts icon to deepen in the movie Tourndedded, it goes deep. This is expected to be expected to talk about a project that uses fictional images to photograph the emotional depths of albums that formed the “Vosovia” tours-healing music, and after the difference “,” Famayura “, and the life cycle.”
The tour welcomed dedicated devices (magnetic guitars, circular psalms) and VR pictures in their conditions to clarify the world of “science fiction” made by its haunting story. As the tour and the film “Director and Optical”, Burke avoided and sponsored an overwhelming world of moving curtains digitally (modern Lantina MagicaElectric vulva, motivated ice, whitening a whirlpool of light players and owners who play in dolby atmos spatial sound. It was filmed live in the nineteenth century theater in Lisbon, the “Forumopia” digital dimensions do not contain a little that you can compare its subtle differences or modernity, except for the tour from where this cinematic experience came.
Answer the questions via email, with the completion of a handful of “Kindas” in its written responses, BJörk is attractive and single conversation as much as it is sound and visible craftsmen.
With “Utopia”, I fabricated an audio language for both the perfect imagination – Your best dreams, the idea of the listener about heaven – in addition to what was likely to be on the other side of this imagination, including how dreams spoil. By the time when the “Forumopia” documents ended, have your dreams evolved?
I think that although I was called a “Utopia” album, I knew that it was not only our desire in a thin world, but it also expresses our feeling when this does not work. Our disappointment. It is more emotionally from this desperate access in humans, and how we try to understand the ideal life. And I think my personal expectations are compatible with that; Understand that things change very slowly and that there is a lot of effort. It is a marathon. However, of course, there is a great urgency. We have to hope-not only in our personal life, but also when it comes to universal things like climate change. The Paris Climate Agreement is a kind of utopian desire. All things in it will be very difficult to reach them. But if we only rise to half of them, this deserves all this effort. It was tragic when the United States left the second time. I hope Trump will join this.
Utopia was the main ingredient in the “Forumopia” group list. What did you see the most prominent visual elements? What are the things in life and dreams that hold you visually or graphically?
For me, it begins as a voice. After “Vulnicura”, which was my Heartbreak album – all Sonic Stark songs, I was desperate. The sound of orgasm, summer and celebration. Therefore, I coordinated the items – air, and the synthesis that look like the psalms, which looks like it – to match the emotional need for floating in the air like the helium balloon after sadness. Usually, after I recorded an album, in order to maintain the synchronization of my team, I will often collect a visible plate to describe the world of the sound we are following. I remember I am talking about the color palette from Mint Green and Peach, tissues, textiles and Timbres are all unknown and delicate to match the psalms. I also remember mentioning small bilino giraffes and science fiction science in the sky.
From previous projects, we know that you are a passionate coordinator. Can you discuss how to translate your vision as the “audio and visual director” of “Cornucopia” by director ísold uggadótir, dance designers, theater managers, and additional back films such as Tobias Gremler?
I was the only person participating in this project from the beginning to the end, and I worked individually with everyone involved. Therefore, it’s my child a lot. I talk about a different language for different people, whether they are DPS, lighting people, animation, editors, or directors. We had three managers, in fact – one for the theatrical exhibition, and the other for the film and me. In general, all of them described how to create a science island with me in clouds with a herd of women who go to this island to escape violence and start again with psalms. So it contains the sweetness of this pastel color, but with the edge; A little ridiculous, which fits with human emotional desire for a better world. It is desperate, therefore, distortion.
I remember to ask (fashion designer) James Miri to help me change into mutant, like humans turn into plants, and if he can change my skin into biological orchid. To this end, he created forms and silicone sculpting that he deaf to my face. I also remember to ask Tobias how exciting plants could make ecstasy, describing how they should have been fictional. All this was related to creating a new world, so it should have been wet and lipid. This was an optimal world where exciting new collisions in biology flourished. Through my experience in working in music and video coordination, I have experience always highlighting Synesthesia, which is a strong accuracy in synchronizing emotion in each song with her pictures. Therefore, every 10 seconds are discussed from the screen time. In addition, I wanted a sensual Times Times with seven screens that open and close through each song in a similar way the editing in movies, so that dozens of times are coordinated within each song, with the feelings of music.
“Björk: Forcopia”

Although the “Cornucopia” tour was primarily imagined about songs from “Utopia”, I included the most painful elements of “Vulnicura” and “Fossora”. What are the colors and concepts from these albums that you searched? How did they make them fit with the “Utopia” vision?
I felt as if adding the “family”, “the gate” and “Notgit” from “Volnelkura” to the show served the purpose of the purpose. This is why we find ourselves in this “Utopia” orgasm. When I chose happy songs from “Fossora”-“Owule,” Fossora “,” ATOPOS “-they have represented more vegetable angle in the innate world, so it was easy to add. I think that, emotionally, I worked a day in general. Emotionally, the time sequence of our daily life is not permanent in time in time.
A song like “Notment”, for example, is our final song, just as it is on “Vulnicura” (album). But she has a message about love and conclusion, which makes it a possible final path for “Forumopia” with “her love will save us from death” as a message, which I strongly believe in. It is a strange response to the Goths’ food, “Our Love”. I want to be optimistic goths … Albino Goth is what I will go here.
Therefore, it is fair to say that after the sad events behind “Vulnicura”, you were looking to create something free and euphoria?
Yes. I think that … like joy after venting, calm after the storm. But also an ideological thing. I feel like after shocks, people reach data for the future that are often ideal, such as a recipe for survival. “Fossora” is when you behave in real life.
I watched a stay in New York City for “Forumopia” before “Fossora” was released in 2022. Have you written and recorded this through your mother’s death with visual and sound correspondence in the tour in any way?
There are two songs on “Fossora” for my mother. The remainder of the songs there is happier, ecstatic and uploaded. I think songs about my mother may be on separate EP. I am actually I will show them (their photos) in Iceland for the solar eclipse for the year 2026 as a piece of gut museum.
“Björk: Forcopia”

“Forumopia” touches on the female divine knowledge from the myths of Africa, Asia, South America and Ducdabbia, where women found power in the psalms, and when women and their environment were threatened, they left with their children and psalms to new Utopia without violence … or men. When they returned to men, they did the chaos … but you, children and psalms deal with them. How does male energies and global social policy that we all recently witnessed affect your work-especially the development of work such as “forumpia”?
I would like to highlight here that there are pornographic men and violent ladies …. but in “Forumopia”, I deal more with male aggressive energy, especially after I experienced a child in school two hours away from Sandy Hook, and partially live in a country with one group absolutely a day. I came from a country without an army and hardly any crime, so all this was destroyed for me; To try to move philosophically through this, with high maternity instincts
“Forumopia” has a lot of animated pieces. How did you make this happen smoothly? What moments have made the most challenges in moving from records to stages to documenting this in the movie? What solutions that you and your manager have found to work?
I worked for a decade in 360 photos and sound, where “Biophilia” and “Vulnicura” were apps on touch screens and VR headphones. I was working with animation programmers, working on “harmony” among other things, creating a new program to receive 360 voice, etc. In short, “Forumopia” was about taking pictures of VR headphones, then to a stage of the nineteenth century, making it physical and vital but maintaining circular energy.
The final heart of the film was “Swato Swat”, so I started working with Tobias Gremler in this, as it was very accurate in synchronizing drops with straw in animation, and made them feel all as they were opening, opening, opening. This is when I worked that we need 27 screens to open and close the entire song, while changing the curtain dance design every few seconds. Additional songs were made in the same way, such as “engagement” and “loss”.
After that, we had the overall opposite because I wanted to face everything that is digital with something very active, and the song that was shown and which looks better is “body memory”. There we removed the screens, we took the effect of “Magika Lantera” and added a choice choir, seven meters long, circular flute, and dedicated magnetic guitar and more. Therefore, I wanted everything to be as dynamic as possible. Try to move from fragile, intimate, insulated, to the group moments. The reason I call it the “digital theater” is that I wanted (“Corocopia”) to carry the best in all worlds, from the very wonderful digital animation to Lo-Fi Live, where you are one with artists.
Why did you choose “Forumopia” as a title? What is the reward you wish to take out by those who enjoy it? When I started working to design dances for psalms with (“Forumopia”) dance designer Margaret Piernedotter in 2018, I knew that the ambition that I had to take “Utopia” live in the theater will be fine in the album, and it is practically impossible to travel with that, my manager has long calmed down by saying that girl and the work that we make in the album only one, but there is no. So, I have not yet called it the album, but “Cornucopia”, knowing that it will be a ship for many things. Covid came and worked for my favor, in the middle of the tour, and I had to stop and write the entirely new Bass-Clarinet album. Then when we did the second half of the tour. By that time, it has become something more formed … and a scientific island in the sky with soil and the roots of fungi below it.
