Festival de Cannes
i am so honoured to be receiving this prize . and thrilled about showing Cornucopia in Cannes . i would like to thank the hundreds of people that took part in it . sublimely grateful to every single one of them .
i feel the modern concert film is a matriarchially friendly construct , welcomed in the current climate . where female musicians can share their worlds uncorrupted . i spent last decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, my intention was to bring what we had created for 21st-century VR into a 19th-century theatre - taking it from the headset to the stage . this vision was realised with 27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens , creating a digitally animated show : a "modern lanterna magica" for live music .
throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in : a second story of an avatar—a modern marionette who alchemically mutates , from puppet to puppet , from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state .
i hope you enjoy it .
warmthness ,
björk
