I visited the Bjork exhibit over spring break, and thought it was weird and unexpected, I really enjoyed it. The “Black Lake” part of the exhibit was the first room we entered, and sitting on the floor watching the video was a tricky experience. Once I noticed that the screen behind us has a different video, I felt as if I couldn’t possibly watch only one and miss something potentially cool. That the sound filled the room wasn’t as interesting as the room itself, or as the video: reading that there were that many speakers in the room, I would never have known it in the moment. The video was interesting, and featured Iceland pretty prominently and in a very interesting way. My favorite part, actually, were the moments that featured Bjork floating above the landscape, flickering as if on fire. The room, however, lent a completely different feel to the space. The felt cones reminded me of being underwater, and though we weren’t allowed to touch them I could tell that they were soft and thick. One thing they did forget to consider, I think, was that if you put a lot of people in an enclosed space full of felt, it becomes very very warm and humid. Maybe that was the intention?
