Pavel Klusák: Björk. Birthday

synopsis

How should Björk's 60th birthday in November be celebrated? Pavel Klusák's lecture looks back at the development of the multi-talented Icelandic artist's creation from the 1980s to the present day, focusing primarily on the visual aspect of her work. Björk's world of surprising syntheses of man, nature, and technology is expressed through collaborations with filmmakers such as Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, radical artist Matthew Barney, fashion designer Alexander McQueen, musician Jesse Kanda, photographer Carlota Guerrero, and creators of virtual reality and AI.
