Björk's 2017 album 'Utopia' saw her form a
unique team to bring her vision into real-
ity, and to tour it around the world. This
included everyone from long-time collabo-
rator James Merry, who also designed her
masks and facepieces, to Instagram-famous
makeup artist Hungry, to a troupe of Icelan-
dic flautists christened "Viibra" for the tour.
Also accompanying them was Santiago
Felipe, a photographer who works with
Björk' regularly, and whose concert photo-
graphs are posted on the Björk Facebook
page the day after each show. This special
Life In Pictures is a choice assortment of
Santiago's backstage photographs from this
most utopian of tours.
