Interview by David
Hemingway. Reprinted by kind permission
of Record Collector. |
A lot of my songs -
including 'Big Time Sensuality' - are about my friends, not my lovers.
It's not erotic or sensual even if it may sound like that. As you
know, you create pretty deep, full-on love relationships with friends.
A lot of it is also about myself. I can be a coward a lot of the time
and there comes a moment when I write a song when I get quite brave.
It's a lot about me dealing with myself rather than attacking other
people. Would I like to know the future? No. There's a side to me that
likes to plan a little bit ahead and there's a side that just needs to
be free. I've got problems with booking airline tickets - I always
change them. Sometimes I wonder if it's just for me to feel free. To
kind of not be nailed in is really important to me. |

Sednaoui documentary "Life Through A Lens" Play UK, 2002/08/17 |
Stephane: When I went to
L.A. the first time, I heard her music and I was like, 'Wow, who is
that person...". And I remember I had been contaceted by someone to do
a portrait of an artist called Björk.
Björk: I'd been photographed by so many people, and you only come across a
few in your whole life that have that sort of physical presence like
Stephane. He's taken photographs of Kurt Cobain, and they are the only
photographs of Kurt Cobain, where I've seen him laughing out loud and
dancing. But not like he's immitating Stephane. Stephane just has that
effect on people, that they go really strong. And they go really
physically expressive. And you can see that gratitude, that they're
all expressing.
Stephane: I saw her face and I heard her music... and I couldn't sleep.
Björk: He does portraits of people. But they're like, in 3D, you know? And
that's why it would be a shame if he only did photographs because he's
so great that he gets people to move.
Stephane: She contacted me to do Big Time Sensuality. And we were supposed to
go to Iceland. But no matter how simple the idea was, going to Iceland
was too big for the budget. And I was trying to find an idea...
Björk: We met several times and I kind of blabbered on about how I wanted it
to be. You know, when you're living on the edge and it's about the
courage to enjoy life.
Stephane: I went to New York and I was in a cab, and I was listening to the
song and I looked around me and I saw that it would work amazingly
with the city. With all the big buildings and everything and her
voice. And at the end of the day I called her back and I said, "I've
got an idea. I've got an idea"!
Björk: The best way to get me in that state, physically in front of a camera
is to put me on a truck...
Stephane: That's what we did. We took a truck and we drove the truck for one
day, up and down...
Björk: Driving with a big P.A., with my own songs. I was very, very, very
shy. And you know how New York people are. They were like, 'Hi honey,
let me get up on there". They were pretty cool about it. So we drove
for twelve hours in circles. And everybody was following the truck. So
it was like a twelve hour concert.
Stephane: We stopped the truck, we did a U-turn. It was fantastic.
Björk: I just had to get as extroverted as humanly possible, and quickly.
Stephane: The performance was so unbelievable from the beginning to the end.
From the first take to the last take. There was no need to do
anything.
Björk: He makes a connection with people he's filmed or photographed. And
people on the other side of that connection can feel fueled with
confidence. You feel very strong. But you are yourself, you don't need
him. And I think I haven't met many people like that. |

Interview Magazine
1995 |
There's a great
lyric on Big Time Sensuality: 'It takes courage to enjoy it'. Do you have that courage?
I've got a lot of courage, but I've also got a lot of fear. You should
allow yourself to be scared. It's one of the prime emotions. You might
almost enjoy it, funny as it sounds, and find that you can get over it
and deal with it. If you ignore these things, you miss so much. But
when you want to enjoy something, especially when it's something
you've just been introduced to, you've got to have a lot of courage to
do it. I don't think I'm more courageous than most people. I'm an even
mixture of all those prime emotions.
Sex does take courage sometimes.
I think so, because if it lacks that sensation of jumping off a cliff,
it would just miss so much. Then again, it has to be pleasurable and
enjoyable and lush and all of that. But "Big Time Sensuality" was
actually about when I first met Nellee Hooper. I think it's quite
rare, when you're obsessed with your job, as I am, when you meet
someone who's your other half jobwise and enables you to do what you
completely want ... so it's not a sexual romance. |
