just came accross this fantastic slice of weirdness; [bjork's new video for 'wanderlust']
why can't london's streets be flooded with plastersine yaks? apparently the video is a mixture of live action, puppets, models and cgi. It looks amazing -particularly the opening shot where bjork claws out the land for the river!
the video's also giving me pangs of nostalgia for iceland - i spent a brief (and extortionate) week there on a field trip in my 2nd year. We went to a bar owned by Bjork, it had the character of a pretty standard trendy east end (of any city everywhere) bar mixed with a fishing chalet- and we met an opera singer (minor icelandic celebrity) who taught us how to cook mink whale steak. The whole country is packed to the rafters full of characters. The landscape is beyond compare of anywhere else i've visisted - it's not actually the most beautiful place in the world but it has a fringe/edge of the earth few other places capture. I imagine places like the antarctic and the danakil depression capture that feeling even better - but as of yet i haven't been to either (though i'd certainly love to).
Some of it looked almost exactly the same as the landscape in the film Aliens.
Also the makers of the video are here:
