'Visitors can hear Björk's immersive, otherworldly soundscape,
Nature
Manifesto, over the next few weeks as they climb the long, glass escalator
that hugs the side of Centre Pompidou in Paris, France.
Björk is not only an Icelandic pop star, but also an avant-garde artist and
climate activist. Her new sound installation blends the noises of endangered
and extinct animals with her own voice, reading text she co-wrote alongside
editor and photographer Aleph Molinari.
"It is an emergency. The apocalypse has already happened. And how we will act
now is essential," Björk recites over an array of ear-tingling wildlife noises
that are sometimes natural, sometimes otherworldly. "In a pioneering sound
strata of mutant peacocks, bees, and lemurs, biology will reassemble in new
ways."'
