Björk. Declare Independence

В очередной раз послушал альбом Volta и невероятно насыщенную разными смыслами песню Declare Independence. Особенно впечатляет простейший клип, в котором очень точно показана модель современного медиа-общества. Понятия «дёргать за ниточки» и «пудрить мозги» здесь визуализированы почти буквально и весьма наглядно, а слово justice (справедливость) звучит издевательски, как змеиное шипение. Смотрите сами:
