The clip was directed by digital artist Tobias Gremmler, who places Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s face onto a shape-shifting figure that sprouts petals and fronds as it twists and billows through the air. It\u2019s an uncanny and arresting sight, but beautiful as well, especially when the theme of metamorphosis is paired with Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s lyrics, \u201cClean plate, tabula rasa for my children\/Clean plate, not repeating the fuck-ups of the fathers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The \u201cTabula Rasa\u201d video arrives after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-live-reviews\/bjork-cornucopia-debut-the-shed-833943\/\">Bj\u00f6rk premiered<\/a> a new multi-media concert piece, <em>Cornucopia<\/em>, at the Shed in New York City (the <em>Utopia<\/em> track closed the set list). Reviewing the show for <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>, Will Hermes wrote, \u201cFor all the beauty on display, the production is gloriously angry the way Bj\u00f6rk can be at her best, embodying a sort of punk-rock Valkyrian fury. And it\u2019s telling that the show\u2019s takeaway, and final word, comes not from Bj\u00f6rk, but from 16-year-old Swedish climate-change activist Greta Thunberg, speaking in an unprocessed video message against a backdrop of silence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s <em>Cornucopia<\/em> will continue to run through June 1st.
