Morton's own work is about the implications of this strange awareness - the knowledge of our interdependence with other beings - which he believes undermines long-held assumptions about the separation between humanity and nature. The sense of eerie intimacy with other species, the fusion of moods in her songs and videos - tenderness and horror, weirdness and joy - "is the feeling of ecological awareness", he said. Her music, he told her, had been "a very deep influence on my way of thinking and life in general". It turned out the philosopher, Timothy Morton, was a fan of Björk. She asked him to help define the nature of her art - "not only to define it for me, but also for all my friends, and a generation actually." "i wanted to write this letter for a long time." She was trying to give a name to her own singular genre, to label her work for posterity before the critics did.
"hi timothy," her first message to him began. A few years ago, Björk began corresponding with a philosopher whose books she admired.
