vulnicura... giving birth to rupture...

9 months before...
“... i better documents this... open chest... to synchronize our feelings... that makes me feel your pain... like milking a stone... I have emotional needs... who has shut down the chances...

“... it reached its peak then transformed... abstract complex feelings... maybe he will come out of this... loving me... this wild lion doesn’t fit in this chair... i’m not taming no animal... i demand clarity...

history of touches
3 months before...
“... i wake you up... in the middle of the night... naked i can feel all of you... time together... therefore sensing all the moments... every single fuck... every single archive... compressed into a second...”

black lake
2 months after
“... our love was my womb... i am one wound... my heart is enormous lake... black with potion... drowning in this ocean... your heart is hollow... i’m drowned in sorrows... i am a glowing shiny rocket...”

Family

...

björk screaming... from time to time... her pain... losing her lover... time on hold... hoping... knowing deep down... hope is like milking a stone... breastfeeding a rock... a cold rock... like walking among violins... violas... celli... bass... in a desert of snow... on a burning volcano... folk songs on open heart... ether strings on underground electronica... oppressing sounds... liberating wounds... documenting a rupture...

this project was worked on in reikjavik, london, new york, carribean... more to follow...
