For those that have been following the
Sigur Ros Valtari Mystery Film Experiment, it's been varied and bizarre to say the least. From seeing
Shia LaBeouf naked whilst playing with butterflies in an underwater world to an
educational video on how to perform the heimlich manoeuvre, it's an odd collection. But I imagine this is exactly what Sigur Ros wanted when they decided to allocate small budgets to various film directors to interpret their album Valtari.

The latest video, for my favourite song off the album Varúd, is perhaps my favourite video so far too. It's far more straight forward and less surreal than the others, as you follow a girl with gold hair casually skipping through the streets of New York. It has a mixture of normality, oddness and magic that I think director Ryan McGinley pulls off so well.
