Björk. With contributions by Klaus Biesenbach, Alex Ross, Nicola Dibben, Timothy Morton, and Sjón. Björk is a contemporary icon whose contributions to music, video, film, fashion, and art have influenced a generation worldwide. Designed by top graphic design agency M/M, the publication is composed of six parts: four booklets, a paperback, and a poster, all encased in a slipcase. Each booklet contains illustrated texts by curator Klaus Biesenbach, New Yorker music critic Alex Ross, professor of musicology Nicola Dibben, and philosopher Timothy Morton (in conversation with Björk), while the poster features artwork from Björk’s albums and singles. The main book focuses on her major albums and the personas created for each one. Poetic texts by her longtime collaborator, the Icelandic poet Sjón, are accompanied by shots of Björk performing live; stills from music videos directed by Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, and Spike Jonze; images of Björk in costumes by designers such as Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan; and shots by photographers such as Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller, Stéphane Sédnaoui, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and Araki.
