Bjork's "Pagan Poetry" is the singer's fifth album "Vespertine". 10 years ago when working with Lady Gaga and Kanye West, British fashion photographer Knight tried to lead his first music video "Pagan Poetry" by hand.
Bjork's most controversial video was filmed in three stages. The first one is detailed observation of drilling, followed by a direct shot of Bjork that Knight was in charge of. The final stage was private shoot by Björk himself, which included original shooting by Sony's HD camera and sexual shooting. Björk has a naked picture and has a spectacle view of her love life to the audience.
Bjork appeared in the dress of Alexander McQueen, starting from the middle of the abdomen while her body 's upper part was pierced with pearls. Knight is using many post - productions supported by Peter Marin, and Peter Marin is fading in video with abstract paintings.
An accompanying music video accompanying "Pagan Poetry" was supervised by Nick Knight and he took a cover image for her third studio album, Homogenic (1997). The video is described as "a woman preparing for marriage and love." It features images of very blurry and stylized clear sex from a personal shot of Bjork, including oral sex and ejaculation, and images of large needle stitched pearl skin. The second half of the video uses the dress Björk designed by Alexander McQueen and covers only the lower half of her body. The upper part of the dress consists of pearls penetrating her skin and the whole upper part is shown. A corset is taken at the end of the video.
Video has three stages of shooting, with perforated video shooting, private video shooting with Björk, and Björk shooting. The perforated video and shooting was completed in the night studio in London in June 2001. The only light source is sunlight that diffuses through the ceiling windows of the solar studio on the second floor. Photographer Simon Chaudoir said the studio gives the appearance of "Northern Lights" and is not contradictory to the original. Five young women who entered subculture and pierced the video. Cavaliers instructs Sho - doll to shoot a perforated line, wears Sony 's mini DV camera on the body (mainly chest, arm, shoulder) of a woman, focuses on a wide angle lens and takes as close to the body as possible did. Nurse and perforation units are at hand, but there is no thimble. Therefore, bleeding mostly results from casting the girl's thumb to press a needle.
