With pulsating sounds, stunning videos and elaborate costumes, a retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art dedicated to the work of Björk transports visitors into the creative world of the Icelandic musician, composer and singer.
Björk, which opens on Sunday and runs until June 7, follows the artist through 20 years of her career, from her first mature solo album, Debut, in 1993, to her latest work and a new music installation commissioned for the retrospective.
"It's been an incredibly generous and fruitful journey for me," Björk, 49, said at a preview of the show.
Through her long, cutting-edge career, Björk has experimented with sounds, images, technology and themes ranging from nature to feminism in eight albums, numerous videos and collaborations with designers, producers and photographers, which are included in the retrospective.
Three years in the making, the show is designed to be an immersive, transformative experience and includes an augmented audio guide.
It includes unusual instruments used on Björk's 2011 hybrid album, Biophilia, which are displayed and programmed to play music and sounds in the museum's lobby.
The feathered swan dress Björk wore to the Academy Awards in 2001 is displayed, along with robots for the music video All is Full of Love , and the bell-shaped dress created by the late designer Alexander McQueen in 2004 for the video Who Is It?
