This is one of my favorite Bjork videos. It's silly, but I love it when she takes apart the TV. I also get this pang of discomfort when she does this because it's not something we're supposed to do. When we buy a product like a TV, we buy a complete object. But Bjork is so comfortable tearing it apart, examining the inside for herself, that she breaches a boundary between consumer and manufacturer in a really playful way. In the end, she gets the most joy from her TV through the exploration of it's insides, not its projected images. And I think the ending is hilarious!

Bjork Again- Her TV
