slipcased world of wonders, this publication which accompanies
springs exhibition on Björk at The Museum of Modern Art, is
composed of six parts: four booklets, a paperback and a poster.
Each booklet contains illustrated texts by, respectively, Klaus

Björk performing live; multiple stills from music videos made by
directors including Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham and Spike
Jonze; images of Björk in breathtaking costumes by designers
such as Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan; and shots by
star photographers such as Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller, Stéphane
Sédnaoui, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, and Araki.

celebrating the magical world of Björk. The outer slipcase has a
smal tear in the corner at the bottom of the spine, but the
contents are near as new)
