Revered for her visionary music, soul-stirring voice, magical live performances, and strikingly bold videos, the iconic and iconoclastic Bjork has unveiled yet another unforgettable triumph of performance art. Directed by filmmaker Jesse Kanda, the astonishing new video for “Mouth Mantra” leverages a specially designed camera that dizzyingly captures the interior of the Icelandic singer-songwriter’s mouth, as she belts out her powerful vocals.
The latest offering from Bjork’s critically applauded ninth studio album Vulnicura released earlier this year, the introspective “Mouth Mantra” was inspired by her recovery from vocal surgery back in 2012, with her confessional lyrics providing insight into the devastation and vulnerability she felt upon losing her precious instrument for a few weeks time. While the accompanying visuals admittedly may turn off the more squeamish among us, the inventiveness of the frenetically filmed clip cannot be denied.
But don’t take our word for it. Check out the stunning video for yourself below!
