Björk Instagram – i am so honoured to share visuals from the magnificent sculptor , painter and multimedia artist gabríela for my song “victimhood” .
her work is based on self-made mythology and when you start discussing it , it reveals it´s own numerology , rubric and shapes .
she is one of my best friends and me and my children have lived with her paintings , sculptures , drawings , films and animations all of our lives .
last winter when i walked into gabríela´s studio and smelled oil colours and saw experiments she was doing with dark blue which usually is not her palette , i told her it reminded me of my grandmother´s oil paintings . she knew her and shared my admiration for her .
like everyone atm , we had been discussing AI and after hours of talking
we decided to create animation and AI work from gabríela´s paintings for my song victimhood .
for me it was a lush moment , connecting our mutual past and catapulting us into the future .
the song´s lyric is about the archetype of self-pity , the victim .
it has foghorns representing that and then some sort of bass clarinet fugue assisting us with ladders out of that pit .
hope you enjoy
warmthness
