This week Björk released the film for the song ‘Black Lake’ which is taken from her latest album ‘Vulnicura’.

Shot on location in Iceland by award-winning director Andrew Thomas Huang (who also directed Björk’s films for ‘Mutual Core’ and ‘Stonemilker’) the ten minute long film for ‘Black Lake’ was commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art, New York and debuted there earlier this year.

The film includes motifs from the Icelandic landscape—caves, ravines, lava, and moss fields—and reflects ideas of pain, perishing, and rebirth. ‘Black Lake’ was realized in collaboration with the 3-D design firm Autodesk, who worked along with David Benjamin and The Living on the installation at MoMA. ‘Black Lake’ was produced by Andrew Thomas Huang’s UK based music video production company Colonel Blimp.
