Next month, Björk will be releasing a photo book to commemorate her Cornucopia Tour. The tour was loosely spread out between 2018 and 2023, beginning with a residency at The Shed in Manhattan.

She then opted to take the tour around the globe, accompanied by Iceland’s Hamrahlid Choir. As her most elaborate production to date, Björk herself described Cornucopia as a “sci-fi pop concert.” Cornucopia: The Book will compile hundreds of visuals and photographs from the run shot by Santiago Felipe across 480 color pages.

The softcover book features a flap cover and glossy pages and is packaged with a 16-page booklet.

Björk elaborated on the tour and the forthcoming book in a statement:

“I’m proud to announce the release of Cornucopia: The Book. This book documents my five-year tour, Cornucopia, designed by M/M Paris, with images shot by photographer Santiago Felipe.

Before this tour, I spent a decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, creating Biophilia, the first app album, and later Vulnicura as a VR album. I was deeply inspired by the idea of a fully-immersive experience, spending a spring in an Icelandic lighthouse, spreading Utopia into fully surround speakers. My intention was to bring what we had created for 21st-century VR into a 19th-century theatre—taking it from the headset to the stage.

This vision was realized with 27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens, creating a digitally animated show: a modern lanterna magica for live music. I also wanted to feature bespoke instruments: a magnetic harp, an aluphone, a circular flute, and a reverb chamber, specially built with an audio architect to enhance the most intimate version of a performance – in a personal chapel.

Throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in: a second story of an avatar – a modern marionette who alchemically mutates, from puppet to puppet, from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state. I hope you enjoy it.”

Björk’s Cornucopia: The Book will be released on November 15.
