Black Lake
Synopsis
Björk is crouched in a womb-like Icelandic cave, throwing her body against the stones that surround her. Slowly, she starts dancing triumphantly through corridors of black volcanic rock. This MoMA-commissioned film was directed by visual guru Andrew Thomas Huang and filmed over three days in Björk’s native Iceland. In the film, her intimate, one-on-one performance embodies the grueling post-heartbreak healing process, augmented by Huang’s stunning VFX.
