Björk
book special > Description

A
project by Björk
Edited
and designed at M/M <Paris>
The
book is edited and designed by M/M, the Paris based duo who are
increasingly collaborating with Björk.
Along with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh
Matadin, M/M have also created the artwork for Bjork’s new album Vespertine
and directed the video for Hidden
Place, the first single from the album.
The photograph on the cover of the book is an early test shot
for the video.
As
well as working with Björk, M/M <Paris> are closely
associated with Yohji Yamamoto and Balenciaga and are frequently
featured in Visionaire Magazine.
The book, 192 pages with a
fabric cover, is divided into three sections:
- A series of photographs of
Björk
- Words including an interview by Björk with her
long time inspirational hero Sir David Attenborough.
- Four pages for Björk: In which she asked her closest
collaborators to contribute four pages. The contributors were
simply told the layout (single page, double spread, single page) and
size and asked to create something from their world. The result is
an enormously eclectic collection of offerings-indicative of the
pool of talent that unites to create one public persona. |
