did i imagine it would be like this? (wanderlust)
Just one of the promo flyers passed out in a gift bag by Flux at the Hammer Museum on Tuesday- a new quarterly screening series to feature video artists' work on a big theater screen.
The Blindness of the Woods was insanely funny- these were live actors dressed up in yarn to look like dolls living in a fairy tale forest. Next thing you know they're fucking on the bed, in the woods, in different positions. They had all their yarn parts anatomically correct--it was pornographic, except not.
But the highlight of the night was Wanderlust, Björk's next single:
Epic, of course, I dont know if she's invested so much production into a video since "All is Full of Love." I saw the 2-D version first and was blown away by the detail in every frame-the water, rocks, yaks, mountains, grass all had layers and layers of work in them. Then we went over to another gallery space to see it in 3-D...
oh. my. god.
I loved in it 2-D, in 3-D she had me ON MY KNEES.
