Pagan Poetry - Directed by Nick Knight (2001)
"I wanted to strip her down. She's actually quite raw, womanly and sexy. There's a different side to her that doesn't come across normally in her videos. That's what I asked her to do and that's what she did. Her dress stops just below her breasts and she's sewn pearls into her skin." said Nick Knight in NME magazine.

Hidden Place - Directed by Inez+Vinoodh & M/M Paris (2001)
The first single from 'Vespertine', recorded February 2001 in London, UK. "We always wanted to get as close to her as we could, as we all felt she had never been portrayed as the "real" and beautiful woman she is. This is somehow taboo, to observe a pop star with no makeup from a distance of half an inch. Then the idea of the liquid works as a visualization of all possible emotions pulsating and circulating in her very busy brain. The loop idea was a main point for us as well, trying to extend the usual time fram of pop video super-fast editing, to make it hypnotising, mesmerising and irritating, like an eternally burning fireplace." said co-producers M/M (Paris).

Bachelorette is the sequel to Isobel's (video) adventures. Björk: "In Isobel I discovered the big city with all the useless and futuristic things invented by adults. Bachelorette is a logical follow up: Isobel has become a grown-up woman who calls her sometimes cruel lovers to account."

Hyperballad - Directed by Michel Gondry (1996)
Transformed into a computergame-character, Björk runs through a landscape and throws herself off a cliff. "Will my eyes be closed or open?". "Basically, 'Hyperballad' is about having this kind of bag going on and three years have passed and you're not high anymore. You have to make an effort consciously and nature's not helping you anymore. So you wake up early in the morning and you sneak outside and you do something horrible and destructive, break whatever you can find, watch a horrible film, read a bit of William Burroughs, something really gross and come home and be like, 'Hi honey, how are you?'."

Play Dead - Directed by Danny Cannon (1993)
Björk about Play Dead:"When I met David Arnold he'd already written the score - like a three minute greatest hits of what's in the film - and Jah Wobble had written the bass part. My role was basically to write a melody and a lyrics that would make it into a pop song. At the end of the day I only used the title and one line: "Sometimes, it's just like sinking." For the rest, I used my words, because I could see what point of view I was supposed to be singing from. It was very difficult for me because at that time I was very happy and all the lyrics I've done lately have been happy and hilarious. To do something so painful I had to get help from Danny."
