Saqala ngexabiso eliphezulu, elinomtsalane, imbonakalo yehlathi elinekhephu elidubulayo ukusuka kwindawo yokujonga umntu ojikelezayo, onesiyezi. Kwingoma yesandi, uBjörk Björk-ed, ngako konke ukunyanzeliswa kwakhe okuzukileyo kwe-ethereal. Ngaba besiza kubona uhlobo oluthile lokuqhekeka kwekhephu kwezona zintle zika-Abruzzo zokuthunga? Hayi okuninzi. Oku bekuliphupha lesidlo sasemini, imbonakalo yeAlpine ukusuka kwindawo esezantsi ukuya phezulu kwaye ubuye umva kwakhona-konke ngaphambi kokutyibilika ngasemva kwedesika yakho.
Iisuti bezizintle, zikrolwe emzimbeni, zithe thaa esinqeni ukuze zibe nde. Saqala ngesuti yeengwevu, kodwa emva koko ukutofwa kwebhutsi yokukhwela intaba endaweni yesihlangu sesixeko sakhomba ekunyukeni okungaphambili. Imibala yatshintsha—utshintsho olusuka edolophini ukuya kweyendalo—yaya kutsho kwindawo enohlaza oluvuthulukayo. Kwakukho iifurs ezimbini ezingaqhelekanga ze-monochrome snippets ezihlonyelwe kwi-herringbone. Umntu wethu wayephezulu, kodwa esajonga iipatheni zakhe zesiqhelo. Kwakukho uhlobo lomsi womzobi kunye nomnqwazi ophindaphindiweyo we-Beuys-meets-Alpine owawuhlebeza ngamabhongo acinezelweyo.
UBackstage uBrendan Mullane uchaze iileya zokuqhunyiswa kwesanti kunye nokushicilela ngokugqithisileyo, ukudibanisa kunye nokuthabatha okuthe kwasetyenziswa kwezi mpahla ukubaboleka ubunzulu bazo bepentinto. I-Brioni imiliselwe kwi-formalism ekudala yavela, imaski evele yavela ngokugqibeleleyo yendoda. Nangona kunjalo u-Mullane uvavanya imida yolu mgaqo kwaye, njengoko esenza njalo, ufumanisa ukuba kusenemimandla ethile engekachazwa ukuba uphuphe ngayo.
