Once again Bjӧrk amazes us with a new stunning video, Mutual Core, designed for the homonymous song from her latest album Biophilia.
Created by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and directed by the hand of Andrew Thomas Huang, Mutual Core will plunges you into the depths of Bjӧrk’s suggestive world. Through his great debut Solipsist, which was honored at the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes Lions and won Best Experimental Short Film at the Slamdance Film Festival, Huang wrote down the rules of his style: multi layered colors, vibrant materials, haptic taste.
You’ll find all these elements in Mutual Core, where fragments of the Earth’s crust come to life and coloured rock tongues explore each other, while Bjӧrk’s singing half-submerged in the sand. The first part of the video is quiet and seductive but suddenly explodes and rocks reveal themselves as magmatic humans. Huang integrates physical shootings and 3D computer animation; he manually moves true rocks, which digitally elaborates in a second phase, adding tongues and rendering their movements.
