Björk Lies Naked On The Ground In Emotional “Black Lake” Video Trailer: Watch
You can consider this the antithesis of a lovey-dovey Valentine’s Day treat.
Icelandic legend Björk stunned fans this year with the release of her critically acclaimed album Vulnicura, a raw, heartbreaking break-up record that centers around her split with artist and longtime collaborator, Matthew Barney. The album’s release, which came early due to leaks, came just ahead of her forthcoming career retrospective at the MoMA (March 8–June 7). And so, to promote both at once, she’s just released a striking visual for one of the album’s highlights, “Black Lake.”
True to the feel of the song, the Andrew Thomas Huang-directed teaser clip is absolutely devastating, as we center in on a clearly emotional Björk lying naked in the ground, covered only by a few well-placed plants. As the camera centers in, a mystery fluid courses through her body before, well, spilling out from her insides and into the ground below, revealing a massive cavern underground…and that’s only the beginning.
Watch the teaser trailer for Björk’s “Black Lake” above, and let us know what you think of the video so far.
