Putting on various VR headsets as you venture between various spaces in Harpa you will encounter different versions of the artist, with one chapter taking you all the way inside of her mouth and throat.

The show takes 90 minutes minimum, with each slot of 20 gueast starting every 15 minutes.

The project is made in collaboration with some of the finest filmmakers and programmers in the world. At the foreground is Björk’s  very personal album Vulnicura from 2015.

Half of the songs of  Vulnicura were written before her break up with American artist Matthew Barney and half of it after.  When Björk announced the release of the album she said she hoped that the “songs could be a help, a crutch to others and prove how biological” the process of heartbreak is.
