BJÖRK

When I was a teenager I used to hitchhike and camp, and spend a few days on my own each year.  The first money I got, I used to buy a tent.  It was my ideal freedom.  And I don’t think I’m alone in that ideal.  There’s a sacredness that comes with this landscape.

Sometimes I can be hiking on my own on top of a mountain and have the most sort of communal, cosmic experience I’ve had all that year, absolutely on my own, where I’m really almost crying because I care so much for the planet.  Sometimes that part of me that cares for others is more active when I’m alone.  So it’s all topsy-turvy as well, as much as I like it to be black and white.
