When people made fun of Bjork’s (in)famous swan dress at the 2000 Oscars, they didn’t realize that it was a subtle red carpet fashion joke. Too bad that this and her assault on a Thai reporter (“Welcome to Bangkok!”) seems to be the only times we see Bjork in the limelight.
Anyway, narrowing it down to ten was painful, but here are her best videos. Ever. All are inventive, creepy, outrageous, and strangely beautiful at the same time. Enjoy!
