Björk: Cornucopia

Björk: Cornucopia, the highly anticipated concert film recorded live in Lisbon, captures the
celebrated artist’s groundbreaking tour that mesmerised audiences worldwide for five
years.
This unique cinematic experience immerses viewers in Björk’s spectacular stage production,
featuring a setlist spanning her iconic early works to the visionary Utopia (2017)
and Fossora (2023). The production showcases bespoke instruments, including a magnetic
harp, a circular flute, an aluphone, and a reverb chamber, and Björk is furthermore joined
on stage by musical director and multi-instrumentalist Bergur Þórisson, percussionist Manu
Delago, flute septet Viibra, harpist Katie Buckley and the Hamrahlid choir. Digitally animated
moving curtains create a modern lanterna magica for live music, transforming 21st-century
VR visuals into the grandeur of a 19th-century theatre — and now into an immersive cinema
experience, enhanced by meticulously crafted Dolby Atmos spatial audio.
Directed by Ísold Uggadóttir, the film features sound and visual creative direction, music
arrangements, production, and performance by Björk. It showcases the work of James
Merry as co-creative director of visuals, and original animation by Tobias Gremmler – with
additional contributions from Andrew Thomas Huang, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Pierre-Alain
Giraud, Nick Knight, and Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton-Jones.
Cornucopia sees Björk pushing the boundaries of live performance, offering a visually and
sonically immersive experience unlike anything seen before.
