Biophilia

Biophilia
Over six exhilarating evenings, Björk brought her multimedia Biophilia project to vibrant life within the Victorian space of Campfield Market Hall. These immersive shows featured the haunting sounds of a 24-strong Icelandic choir, Heath Robinson-style invented instruments, introductions by David Attenborough, captivating footage of the natural world and the electrifying experience of a working Tesla coil on bass. This was an event that truly united science, music, nature – and magic.
‘A torrent of fire and ice, an explosively powerful geyser, Björk remains Iceland’s flesh-and-blood rival to the Eyjafjallajökull volcano’ The Times
