Бьорк цитаты

Бьорк Гудмундсдоттир — исландская певица, актриса, музыкант, композитор и автор песен, лауреат множества премий.

Свой первый альбом записала в 11 лет, он приобрёл большую популярность в Исландии, но мировую известность Бьорк получила как вокалистка альтернативной рок-группы «The Sugarcubes», чей сингл «Birthday» в 1987 году стал хитом в Великобритании и США, а также полюбился музыкальным критикам. Сольную карьеру Бьорк начала в 1993 году, её альбом «Debut» имел в основе электронную танцевальную музыку, хаус, джаз и трип-хоп. По общему признанию, это один из первых альбомов по внедрению альтернативной электронной музыки в мейнстрим. Было продано более 4,7 млн копий «Debut» по всему миру.

На настоящий момент Бьорк разработала свой собственный эклектичный музыкальный стиль, который включает в себя аспекты электроники, классики, авангардной музыки, альтернативной танцевальной музыки, рока и джаза. Бьорк написала музыку к фильму «Танцующая в темноте» Ларса фон Триера, в котором сыграла главную роль и получила приз как лучшая актриса на Каннском кинофестивале. Также она приняла участие в качестве композитора и актрисы в фильме «Drawing Restraint 9» своего тогдашнего мужа Мэттью Барни, саундтрек к которому был выпущен отдельным одноимённым альбомом. В 2010 году Бьорк получила премию «Polar Music Prize» от Шведской королевской академии музыки за её «глубоко личные музыку и слова, её точные аранжировки и её уникальный голос». Всего у артистки более ста наград и двухсот номинаций. Её альбом «Biophilia» был первым альбомом в формате мобильных приложений и позднее его включили в состав постоянной коллекции Нью-Йоркского музея Современного искусства , почти через год там прошла выставка по мотивам творчества Бьорк, которая охватила весь период её сольной карьеры. Издание «Time» включило Бьорк в раздел «иконы» как одну из 100 самых влиятельных людей в мире, назвав её «верховной жрицей искусств», небольшой текст к нему написала Марина Абрамович, утверждая, что «Бьорк учит нас храбрости быть самими собой».

Музыкальные критики, отзывающиеся положительно о работе Бьорк, восхваляют её инновационный подход к пению и композиторству, её передовое использование электронных битов, прогрессивные музыкальные видео, и прежде всего — её уникальный голос, описывая её как «самого важного и дальновидного музыканта своего поколения».

“It's a big question. Getting rid of religion would be a good start, wouldn't it? It seems to be causing a lot of havoc.”

Björk

When asked "Given the chance, how would you change the world?" (Independent, 18 March 2005.)
Other quotes

“"Everyone is bisexual’: “I’ve always had as many powerful, creative ladies in my life as I have men, and you could probably describe some of those relationships as romantic. I think everyone’s bisexual to some degree or another; it’s just a question of whether or not you choose to recognise it and embrace it. Personally, I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You’d be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavours.””

still throwing things off

will my eyes
be closed or open?”

"Oceania", from Medúlla (2004)
Songs

“I was talking to a friend about it recently and I told him that the thing about making that film that upset me most was how cruel Lars is to the woman he is working with. Not that I can't take it, because I'm pretty tough and completely capable of defending myself, but because my ideals of the ultimate creator were shattered. And my friend said "What did you expect? All major directors are "sexist", a maker is not necessarily an expert in human rights or female/male equality!
My answer was that you can take quite sexist film directors like Woody Allen or Stanley Kubrick and still they are the one that provide the soul to their movies. In Lars von Trier's case it is not so and he knows it. He needs a female to provide his work soul. And he envies them and hates them for it. So he has to destroy them during the filming. And hide the evidence. What saves him as an artist, though, is that he is so painfully honest that even though he will manage to cover up his crime in the "real" world (he is a genius to set things up that everybody thinks it is just his female-actress-at-the-moment imagination, that she is just hysterical or pre-menstrual), his films become a documentation of this "soul-robbery.”

Other quotes

“It's interesting for me to bring up a girl. You go to the toy store and the female characters there — Cinderella, the lady in Beauty and the Beast — their major task is to find Prince Charming. And I'm like, wait a minute — it's 2005! We've fought so hard to have a say, and not just live through our partners, and yet you're still seeing two-year-old girls with this message pushed at them that the only important thing is to find this amazing dress so that the guy will want you. It's something my mum pointed out to me when I was little — so much that I almost threw up — but she's right.”
